No, there's no indication whatsoever that Huawei is government-owned. Stop spreading FUD. There are plenty of state-owned enterprises in China, but Huawei isn't one of them.
- DeonPenny 7y agoTheres a lot of evidence that they are state-owned. For example, a large number of board members being active in the CCP
- DiogenesKynikos 7y agoThat has nothing to do with being state-owned. Lots of people in China are in the party. China has SOEs. It has private companies. They operate quite differently from one another. Huawei operates like one of the latter, and legally, definitely is one of the latter.
- DeonPenny 7y agoThe way you explain it makes it seem like we shouldn't trust any Chinese companies to be separate from the party so not sure what you were going for but it's had the opposite effect.
- DiogenesKynikos 7y agoYou shouldn't trust any company anywhere to be able to act entirely independently of the national intelligence apparatus. It's been established that many American tech companies cooperate with the NSA, for example. But Huawei is a private company. It will probably have to comply if the Chinese state forces it to (just like American companies have to silently comply if handed a National Security Letter), but it's not an arm of the government.
- C1sc0cat 7y agoThat is what is some times called "Not readily believable" Huawei certainly isn't a worker coop as it claims.
- DiogenesKynikos 7y agoThe objection in the article is that the workers don't directly own shares. It's still a company in which workers vote and share in the profits. They just can't sell their stake on the market.
- C1sc0cat 7y agoStill not a coop one member one vote is the rule
