China Telecom giant Huawei has recently faced a crisis that has a very different nature in the past year.At the time of his chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, the first anniversary of his arrest last Sunday (1st). The news that Huawei's former employees had been imprisoned, which made Huawei's accumulated popularity and favors in China in the past collapse.
Li Hongyuan, a former employee of Huawei, was reported by Huawei to be reported and prosecuted for extortion due to a dispute over 300,000 yuan (RMB, the same, and about S $ 60,000).However, 251 days later, the Shenzhen Longgang District Procuratorate decided not to sue on the grounds that the facts were unclear and the evidence was insufficient.Although he has regained his freedom, many people still pay attention to whether the case involves Huawei's staff to be trapped in Li Hongyuan, which has led him to sit for 251 days of injustice. To this end, he called on Huawei to explain.
However, Huawei's statement the night before was only further angered by Li Hongyuan's inconsistent people.Huawei did not apologize to Li Hongyuan's expectations of some people's expectations. Instead, he a safeguarded his right to report to the judiciary. He even welcomed Li Hongyuan to sue: If Li Hongyuan believes that his rights and interests are damaged, we support him to use legal weapons to protect his rights and interests of his rights and interests.Including prosecution Huawei.
The rebound of public opinion, which has been popular in China for a period of time, is quite rare.Many Chinese media have recently reproduced the open letter of Meng Wanzhou's first anniversary of the arrest and describing inner suffering. However, the message area was screened by the number 251. Netizens directly ridiculed Meng Wanzhou's encounter.Heaven is more worthy of sympathy.
The surging news yesterday also released a strong emotional color and entitled Huawei, who was entitled to refuse to apologize: there was no empathy, scared comments, and summarized Huawei's response as you!Like the giant wheel rushed over, but disdain to apologize to the overwhelming grass, and warned that the wolf should not swallow humanity.
In the eyes of critics, Huawei seemed to be a victim from the victim. On the one hand, Meng Wanzhou's soft and emotional reflection, but on the other side was the tough attitude of Li Hongyuan and his supporters.The key to this round of rebound is that Huawei has performed tough in the game with the United States for more than a year, and to a large extent relying on the support of the domestic market. This time in China, the cost may be unusual.
At present, the main fuse of this anger is that Huawei is accused of indifferent reactions, especially Li Hongyuan has been released innocently, and the state has given compensation; even if the liability for wrong sentence is not in Huawei, but in the face of a former subordinate who was sitting in a injustice prisoner, Does Huawei still occupy a moral high ground?This collective emotions may also be with the Internet company NetEase who has been roughly cut off the sick staff not long ago, and the controversy around the 996 overtime culture earlier this year.The management also has higher requirements.
However, this 251st turmoil is not no gray area.For example, is Li Hongyuan's claim from Huawei completely reasonable?How much liability should Huawei take Li Hongyuan's mistakes?In the case of incidents, there are still many unknown circumstances, and public opinion trials are not believed to be the most ideal solution for this storm.
What can be seen more clearly is that patriotism emotions are the double -edged sword effects of Huawei's development backing.After being involved in the Sino -US trade war, Huawei's sales in the country have offset the negative effects of some overseas markets' atrophy; but at the same time, people have higher moral expectations and requirements for Huawei.The behavior of ordinary employees' rights and interests will not be seen.
A netizen wrote this way: Before Canada detained Meng Wanzhou, so many Chinese people spoke for Huawei and supported Huawei products to help Huawei spend the difficulties; then Huawei should not be responsible as a company that was widely supported in China, shouldn't it be responsible for, Take care of the emotions of the whole society?
It can be seen that even if Huawei has received widespread support from the Chinese people for a period of time, and even described as a national brand, when encountering incidents such as 251 storms, the willingness and strength of public opinion to supervise and review are still strong.Not blind support.
As we all know, the West, especially the United States, is currently not friendly to Huawei.When Meng Wanzhou recently delivered the first anniversary of the arrest, some Western media reported with the irony tone such as reading and drawing oil and painting; now, if Chinese netizens have been snatched by the 251st storm, Huawei will be taken away.I'm afraid it is a double blow.In the current complicated situation, even if Huawei thinks that he is well -founded, it seems that he may have to be more sensitive to the public's emotions and crisis public relations, and step by step.
