A letter from Huawei to global suppliers and partners (full text)
Dear Supplier Partner:
I believe you have noticed that the US has made many accusations against Huawei recently.Huawei has repeatedly clarified that the company strictly abides by applicable laws and regulations when conducting business globally.
Recently, Ms. Meng Wanzhou, CFO of the company, was temporarily detained by the Canadian authorities on the grounds that the US government requested the extradition of Ms. Meng Wanzhou to face unspecified charges in the Eastern District of New York when she was transiting in Canada.
Huawei has obtained very little information on this allegation, and is not aware of any wrongdoing by Ms. Meng Wanzhou. The company believes that the Canadian and American judicial systems will eventually give a fair conclusion.If there is any further information, we will inform you in time.
We believe that the US government's pressure on a commercial company through various means is a practice that deviates from the spirit of free economy and fair competition.However, we will not change our cooperation with global supply chain partners because of the unreasonableness of the US government.
Over the past 30 years, Huawei has adhered to the principles of value-based procurement and transparent procurement, and has worked with more than 13,000 companies around the world to jointly build a healthy ICT industry chain through extensive cooperation of mutual benefit, mutual trust, and mutual assistance.
Under the tide of global technology cooperation and industrial development, upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain rely on each other and share weal and woe. Huawei's development and growth are closely related to the development and prosperity of its supplier partners.We will work with suppliers and partners to increase mutual trust and jointly promote the sustainable and healthy development of the global ICT industry.
Looking forward to your continued support!
Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
