Detained Huawei CFO speaks out in letter to employees

Live Mint  

Ottawa: Meng Wangzhou, the Chief Financial Officer of Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei who has been detained in Canada since last December, has written to the company's 188,000 employees to thank them for support she says has filled her "with power". "Every time a court hearing has finished, I have seen Huawei employees staying up all night just to follow my case in distant time zones," Meng wrote in a letter that was published Monday on the company's internal online forum. The case against Meng was filed amid a broader campaign against the Chinese tech company by the US government, which claims Huawei's networking equipment poses a national security threat. Last week, Huawei, which is world's biggest maker of telecommunications equipment, decried "political factors at play during the extradition process", which it said could infringe on Meng's "legitimate rights".
