In the United Kingdom, two Huawei executives resign over the company's position in the Ukraine conflict. According to the BBC , Sir Andrew Cahn and Sir Ken Olisa felt that the company's failure to quickly condemn the Russian invasion made its positions untenable.
Huawei UK thanked both for their "invaluable guidance," and when asked if it would continue doing business with Russia, the company said: "We will not be making any further comments."
Huawei executives resign out of conviction
Both Cahn and Olisa, Huawei executives, resign since the Changsha Mobile Number List company should have quickly condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It is believed that both considered that, although this was a complex situation for the company, the firm's position was at odds with their expectations as UK directors.
A Huawei official said:
Sir Andrew Cahn and Sir Ken Olisa brought considerable experience from the worlds of business and technology to Huawei UK's board when they were appointed, in 2015 and 2018 respectively.
Huawei executives resign... for social responsibility?
In addition, it is also noted that both have shown strong support for Huawei's commitment to the United Kingdom and have helped maintain the highest standards of corporate governance.
"Devastating" action
News of the resignations comes as the United States has warned Chinese companies not to violate restrictions on technology exports to Russia.
China abstained from a United Nations resolution condemning the Russian invasion, but its government has recently expressed "regret" over the military action, saying it was very concerned about the harm to civilians.
The US Secretary of Commerce, Gina Raimondo, told the New York Times that Washington could take "devastating" measures against Chinese companies that defy Russian sanctions, prohibiting the use of US equipment and software necessary to manufacture their products.
Russia "is certainly going to be looking to other countries to take a tour of our sanctions and export controls," Raimondo said.
The threats echo measures taken against Huawei in 2020, when Donald Trump's administration added the company to its "entity list" and prohibited it from acquiring US technology without prior approval.
Huawei executives resign due to war
At the time, the US government believed that Huawei represented a national security problem, something the corporation strongly denied. However, the restrictions hit profits hard and deprived it of access to key technologies.
Therefore, the fact that two senior officials in the United Kingdom resign in the face of Huawei's response could mean a complex situation for this organization that has not officially declared its position regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
