Habo Investments closes 17 deals for stakes in Chinese tech companies“Their investments are not private because they are subsidised by the (Chinese) State. Hence they are not transparent, free, commercial transactions like many others but they are rather carried out to the exclusive benefit of (China's) security apparatus,” Pompeo told Italian daily la Repubblica, at the end of his two-day visit to the country.
“(Huawei's investments) are predatory actions that no nation must or can allow,” he added.
He called on Europe and the United States to join forces to prevent the Chinese Communist party from succeeding in its plans abroad.
Huawei has always rejected the US accusations.
