Sanctions-Hit Huawei Plans Components Plant in Europe

Agence France-Presse

   PARIS - Chinese telecommunications group Huawei is working on a plan to
   build its own components at a site in Europe, its chairman told AFP,
   after it was hit by U.S. sanctions.

   President Donald Trump has ordered American firms to cease doing
   business with Huawei, but Liang Hua reiterated denials that the company
   was a tool of Chinese intelligence.

   "We are planning to manufacture our own components at a production site
   in Europe in the future," he said in an interview at AFP's
   headquarters. "We are conducting a feasibility study to open a factory
   in Europe for this. The choice of country will depend on that study."
