FedEx is 'harming image' by diverting packages

The FedEx Corp's reported practice of rerouting Huawei parcels to the United States without the Chinese company's authorization demonstrates that the US government is leaving no stone unturned to disrupt normal business activities, analysts said on Tuesday.

Such a move, if not properly explained, could harm the image of the US companies involved, disrupt trust in cross-border business cooperation and further undermine the US government's credibility in keeping companies independent, they said.

The comments came after media reported that FedEx, without detailed explanation, diverted two parcels destined for Huawei addresses in Asia to the United States and attempted to reroute two others.
