Huawei chairman blames US for trying to scuttle 5G in India

BARCELONA: Huawei global chairman Guo Ping on Sunday alleged that the Trump administration is creating hurdles in the sale of its 5G telecom equipment to India and is sending its top officials to negatively influence the government and corporates against the company.
“The US has used its national power, and Vice-President Mike Pence and secretary of state Mike Pompeo have done a lot of things. I have heard that some officials of the US administration are going to India to persuade them not to use Huawei. What is the motivation behind this?” Ping told TOI a day ahead of the opening of the Mobile World Congress (MWC).
