BEIJING: The Financial Times reported that tech giant Huawei has ordered its employees to cancel technical meetings with American contacts and has sent home numerous US employees working at its Chinese headquarters.
Friday’s moves come amid growing US-China tensions over trade and technology in which Huawei has been a main target.
The newspaper quoted Huawei’s chief strategy architect, Dang Wenshuan, as saying that American citizens working in R&D were repatriated two weeks ago, after the Chinese group and 68 affiliates were placed on the US Commerce Department’s “Entity List,” which effectively bars American firms from selling technology to Huawei without prior government approval.
