Huawei defends its brand integrity

Chinese technology giant Huawei will take a "proactive approach" to represent its brand "truthfully and honestly" in Australia, a senior executive told China Daily on Wednesday in Sydney.

Jeremy Mitchell, Huawei's director of corporate and public affairs for Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific, said that lots of things said about Huawei "are simply not based on fact".

Mitchell had earlier written a blog post criticizing former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull for calling on the United Kingdom to boycott Huawei's 5G technology as "it posed a security risk".
