Not only that, but she went on to make groundless accusations: "This is not my position. Even though Huawei has always said it has nothing to do with the Chinese government, it's hard to prove in itself. We know that the Chinese government is not a friendly government, and I don't want to support what they do. ”
However, this attitude is completely different from when Larson accepted Huawei's endorsement last year.
Agence France-Presse said Larson, 22, is one of Sweden's best-known female singers. In 2013, she became internationally popular for the first time with the hit song "Uncover".
In April 2019, Larson signed an endorsement contract with Huawei and participated in the advertising campaign of a new huawei smartphone at that time. Last year, in an interview with Resume magazine, she also praised Huawei, saying: "Huawei is a private company in China, and now it is launching a very good mobile phone." ”
After Larson revealed that he terminated the contract, Huawei's Swedish branch issued a statement in response on the same day. The statement said the company's endorsement agreement with Larson has a time limit and the agreement was concluded last year by mutual agreement. "We are grateful for our partnership with Sarah for her energy, values and motivation to follow her own path."

Recently, in order to further block the development of Huawei's 5G, the United States has tried to win over its allies to suppress Huawei. In response to the US's continuous crackdown on Huawei, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on July 30 that the allegations made by Pompeo and some other US politicians against China's relevant enterprises are completely unfounded. The United States accused Huawei of threatening the national security of the United States, but facts have proved that in the past 30 years, Huawei has built more than 1,500 networks in more than 170 countries and regions around the world, providing services for 228 fortune-500 companies, serving more than 3 billion people around the world, without a single cybersecurity incident similar to the "Snowden Incident" and "WikiLeaks", and without a single network monitoring and surveillance behavior similar to "Prism Gate", "Equation Organization" and "Echelon System". Nor can any country come up with evidence of the existence of backdoors in Huawei products.
Wang Wenbin pointed out that the US side also claims to safeguard democracy and freedom, but what we have seen is that Some US politicians such as Pompeo have repeatedly put pressure on other countries, pointed fingers at the construction of 5G network cooperation in other countries, and openly coerced other countries to obey the will of the United States, which is a naked hegemonic act. The US side claims to practice fairness and reciprocity, but the facts show that when enterprises in other countries gain a leading edge, US politicians will fabricate excuses and use state forces to suppress by any means, and will not hesitate to violate the us side's consistently flaunted principles of market economy and fair competition, violate international trade rules, and even harm the interests of US enterprises and consumers.
