Huawei accuses the United States of orchestrating a worldwide campaign against him

Xu, one of the company's three presidents, was charged at a press conference in Shenzhen, during a press conference in Shenzhen, accusing Washington of having used all its government mechanisms against the Asian firm.

The executive said that the current debate around 5G technology, of which Huawei is one of the main drivers, revolved around "political issues".

"Some say that because some countries use Huawei equipment, US intelligence agencies are struggling to get their data"Xu pointed out.

His remarks, reproduced by the EFE news agency, are produced after the tour that Eastern Europe imposed on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who warned of Huawei's growing presence in the region. .

During his visit, Pompeo expressed his doubts about the plans of the Chinese giant to set up a logistics center in Hungary.

On the other hand, Xu badured that Huawei would invest more than 2,000 million dollars (1,770 million euros) over the next five years to improve the cybersecurity of its equipment, including rewriting some codes, as an "extra step" for foreign business confidence.

Last month, the United States Department of Justice officially charged Huawei, two affiliated companies and its chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, thirteen charges of fraud and conspiracy.

Wanzhou has been detained in Canada since last December at the request of the United States, who is seeking his extradition. China has asked for his release.

Huawei has been the subject of constant objections from the US government, which in practice has prevented it from installing its telecommunication equipment on any major networks in the country, fearing that they can be used to spy on Americans.

Huawei, which is the world's largest telecommunications equipment maker and the second largest smartphone maker, says it is not a security threat in the US and the company operates independently of the Chinese government.
