In an exclusive interview with LisaLaFlammeCTV , Huawei founder defends his daughter and his company
A month before she was arrested in Vancouver, Huawei Technologies executive Meng Wanzhou wanted to resign and find another job, her father and the company’s founder has revealed in an exclusive interview with CTV News.
Meng, Huawei’s chief financial officer and deputy chairwoman, was arrested at the Vancouver airport last December at the request of American authorities. She is wanted in the United States on fraud charges related to allegations she misled banks about the company's business dealings in Iran. “We will not reduce our investment in Canada because of that,” he said. “Meng Wanzhou is an individual case and I don't think it should influence in any way the relationship Canada has with Huawei.”“In the past we seldom exchanged phone calls. Once a year we exchanged pleasantries because we were all busy but now, every other day we have phone calls,” he said. “We shoot the breeze, tell jokes, I tell her some anecdote I’ve read on the Internet.
“As to how the Chinese government is handling this, it is the Chinese government’s decision,” Ren said. “The Chinese government also has the responsibility of protecting its citizens. As to our needs, we are going to use legal needs.” Ren denied that his company is under Beijing’s thumb, and said the U.S. accusations have made Huawei a “hot topic” around the world.
