No 'silent lambs': China supports Huawei's bid for U.S. legal redress.
BEIJING - The Chinese government's top diplomat, State Councilor Wang Yi, said on Friday that China supports Huawei Technologies' bid for legal redress in the United States, adding that Chinese companies should use"legal weapons" and not be"silent lambs".
In December, Huawei's chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Canada at the United States' request and faces possible extradition. "What we must protect today is not only a company's rights and interests, but the legitimate development interests of a country and its people," he said. It has embarked on a public relations and legal offensive as Washington lobbies allies to abandon its products when building 5G networks, centering on a 2017 Chinese law requiring companies cooperate with national intelligence work.Meng's arrest quickly turned her into a central figure in a trade war between two economic superpowers.
But Huawei's activities were under scrutiny by U.S. authorities long before Trump initiated the trade war, according to interviews with 10 people familiar with the Huawei probes and documents related to the investigations seen by Reuters. But over the past year, Beijing has publicly downplayed that program, mindful of the backlash it had created. Once a key talking point for Chinese officials, former finance minister Lou Jiwei told the South China Morning Post on Wednesday the tech development strategy has been a"waste of taxpayers" money.
