Arrested Huawei CFO was in possession of an iPhone, iPad and MacBook

[Redaktion]

Arrested Huawei CFO and daughter of founder Ren Zhengfei, Meng Wanzhou, has had further embarrassment heaped on her. As if getting arrested in Canada at the request of the US government on espionage charges isn't enough, it has now been revealed that when arrested, Meng was in possession of several Apple products instead of Huawei equivalents.

So one is forbidden from admiring and using a rival's technology? What a great piece of journalism! I wonder why such briliant articles do not appear auf Deutsch.

Given that Huawei has sacked staff for doing exactly the same thing as the company CFO, and daughter of the founder, has just been caught doing this is a more than legitimate news piece. It was sourced from Bloomberg, as linked, and has since been covered by a number of other sites including Engadget. Sorry you didn't like it.

So what if she had Apple products. It's very common to work for a company like Huawei and own Apple products in your home.

They were sacked for POSTING as the official huawei social media accounts with rivals products. COMPLETELY different to what has happened here. Must be a slow news day to be making filler 'fake' news, Im honestly surprised, the standard here is usually better.

You wouldn't be saying that if you're aware of the mentality in China, it's a nationalistic "us or them" situation with Apple in particular pitched as products of the "enemy", using Apple is seen as being "out of touch with the people" and only those who aren't afraid to be viewed as non-patriotic repeatedly buy Apple products.

In all fairness it is a fact that some companies in China have sacked employees just for using Apple products.

For those rumoring "Chinese staff fired for using Apple product": could you at least search on google before spreading those nonsense?

Those. Do they have a trite reason to think that Meng Vange could research competitive products and their interfaces?

A subsidy of 15% for buying Huawei and ZTE products. A fine of 100% sticker price for buying Apple products, also a ban on procurement of US brand equipment. There was also a statement afterwards that stated deductions on annual bonus for buying Apple.
