Huawei, the Chinese telecoms equipment maker, has pledged to start disclosing more detailed financial and shareholding information as it tries to dispel fears over suspected ties to the Chinese military, which are hampering its global expansion.
Cathy Meng, chief financial officer and daughter of company founder Ren Zhengfei, said on Monday that Huawei would be publishing increasingly detailed information about who actually owns it.
Mr Ren’s past as a People’s Liberation Army officer has fed suspicion in the US and some other countries that his company might have close links to the Chinese military and state and that its products could pose security risks.
