WASHINGTON: Top legal official of Huawei has warned that a US move to blacklist its products will harm billions of consumers.
Speaking at a press conference, Song Liuping said the trade ban would also “directly harm” American companies and affect jobs.
The company’s reacted after Washington added Huawei to a list of companies that US firms cannot trade with unless they have a licence.
The trade ban is part of a wider battle between the US and Huawei.
Washington has moved to block the Chinese company, the world’s largest maker of telecoms equipment, on national security concerns.
Huawei has repeatedly denied claims the use of its products pose security risks, and says it is independent from the Chinese government.
