Huawei's rotating chairman Ken Hu speaks to global media

Yang Yuan, Financial Times: Thanks. I have a question about the arrest of Ms Meng in Canada. It's been reported before by Reuters that Skycom, which is a subsidiary of Huawei, was selling technologies from American companies to Iranian customers. And we've also found that Ms Meng was a director of Skycom, and Skycom employees have described themselves as employees of Huawei. Can you clarify the relationship with Skycom and Skycom's activities in Iran?

Ken: I know you are definitely very interested in what happened recently. But since, as you might be aware, this is right now under a judicial process, I'm not in the position to provide any information at this point in time. Two points I still want to share with you.

First, we are very confident in our trade compliance management system. We started development in 2007, which covers our global businesses across our entire portfolio and the entire Huawei workforce. We believe with such a well-running trade compliance management system, we have the fundamental guarantee of our 100 billion dollars business. We have the guarantee to ensure smooth, efficient, and secure operations of our business and also to reassure our customers around the world.

Second, we have confidence in the fairness and independence of the judiciary systems in countries involved in this specific case. We look forward to a just conclusion to this matter.
