Huawei has claimed to be leading the world in commercial 5G contracts, as the Chinese company pushes back against rising international fears over its technology.
The Shenzhen-based telecoms company, which has become embroiled in the US-China dispute after the arrest this month in Canada of its founder’s daughter and chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, has won a quarter of all commercial 5G contracts, an executive said on Tuesday.
“Despite efforts in some markets to create fear about Huawei and to use politics to interfere with industry growth, we are proud to say that our customers continue to trust us,” said Ken Hu, the company’s rotating chief executive and deputy chair.
