Huawei’s chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, who faces extradition to the United States over allegations of skirting Iran sanctions, recently submitted an article to Japan-based magazine Nikkei Asian Review, defending Huawei’s funding to top universities around the world. She revealed in her article that Huawei has provided funds to most of the top 100 universities around the world.
According to Nikkei, Meng’s article was adapted from an unpublished speech she gave in Singapore last year, then provided to Nikkei in the wake of Oxford University’s recent announcement that they would refuse any future Huawei donations in light of recent public concerns about potential security loopholes.
