China’s government voiced its support for Huawei’s legal challenge against the U.S. on Friday, saying the technology firm has the right to refuse to be “victimized like silent lambs.”
Huawei filed a lawsuit on Thursday claiming that a ban on U.S. government agencies buying its telecommunication equipment is unconstitutional. Wang Yi, China’s top diplomat, said the regime in Beijing backs the company’s legal battle.
“China has and will continue to take all necessary measures to resolutely protect the legitimate and lawful interests of Chinese businesses and citizens,” Wang said, according to an official translation of a Mandarin comment made during a Friday address.
