In the short span since Meng Wanzhou’s Dec 1 arrest, Huawei transforms from besieged target to unapologetic champion of telecommunications security.
BEIJING: Huawei Technologies has turned to a blend of wit, sarcasm and defiance to publicly fight allegations that the world’s largest maker of telecommunications equipment is spying for China.
“Prism, prism on the wall, who is the most trustworthy of them all?” Guo said, referring to the code name of the surveillance system used by the US to access private communications from internet companies.In the short span since Meng’s Dec 1 arrest, Huawei has gone from besieged target to unapologetic champion of telecommunications security.
European carriers have offered to help governments devise a way to work with Huawei while warding off security concerns. But in recent years, the closely held company started publicly releasing financial statements, sponsoring sports teams and churning out cheeky ads around the world. The founder has been charging hard on the speaking circuit ever since, including sitting down for tea with the BBC, where he stressed that there’s “no way the US can crush us.”
“Huawei, in other words, hampers US efforts to spy on whomever it wants. This is the first reason for the campaign against us.” “Now, some countries want to block our investment in scientific research, disrupt our efforts to learn the advanced technologies,” Ren said when addressing employees at a company event on Feb 16.Huawei’s communications team said it’s ramping up efforts to respond to what it calls “false allegations, fake news and rumours.”
