Huawei security allegation dismissed

China has never heard of any country having a security problem from working with Huawei Technologies Co, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said on Monday, after a top executive of the company was detained in Canada.

Huawei has signed 5G network contracts with over 20 countries, "which shows that the company has been fully recognized", Lu said at a regular news briefing in Beijing.

"We have noticed that recently some people in some countries have expressed concerns over the 'possible' threat of Huawei to their national security, but none has provided any convincing evidence to prove it," he said.
