€200m factory in France
Huawei has announced plans to invest €200 million in a network equipment factory in East France.
The new site will first employ 300 people before increasing to 500 in the long-term with the products made going to its European customers.
The news comes despite Huawei facing a ban on the use of its solutions across France’s telecoms networks. According to Reuters, the factory is part of Huawei’s efforts to ease global concerns that that the Chinese government could use the company’s equipment for spying.
