What is Huawei's relationship with the Chinese government?

Huawei is a private company, owned solely by our employees. No third parties hold any shares in the company, and that includes the Chinese government.

We are a global company that works openly and transparently with the governments of 170 countries where we do business. We have commercial agreements in place with these governments, and this includes China. We sell civil communication products to the Chinese government, and that is the extent of the relationship.
