huawei 01The Australian operation of Huawei Technologies said it would continue to cut staff numbers and investment in the country amid strained relations between Beijing and Canberra.

In 2018, Australia banned Huawei from supplying equipment for a 5G mobile network citing national security risks, a move the company criticised as being politically motivated.

huawei 02”In simple terms the 5G ban on Huawei has cost us 1,000 hi-tech and high-wage jobs from the economy,” Jeremy Mitchell, Huawei’s chief corporate affairs officer for Australia, said in an emailed statement.

”We have gone from 1,200 staff to fewer than 200 and by next year it will be lower still.”

Huawei had terminated A$100 million (US$72.3 million) of research and development investments in Australia since the 5G ban, Mitchell said.

huawei 03Huawei last month said it would end its sponsorship of an Australian rugby league club a year earlier than expected due to a downturn in its business.

华为已撤回对澳大利亚4.9亿元投资,还裁员83%!

华为澳大利亚已经正式决定,削减在澳大利亚1亿澳元的投资金额,同时将在明年年底之前削减83%的员工数量,这就意味着今后华为在澳大利亚的员工将仅剩下不到200人。

毫无疑问,在澳大利亚如此高调的抗华浪潮之下,华为已经准备放弃澳洲市场,对于澳大利亚多次跟随美国针对华为发起的调查和栽赃,华为已经不再无动于衷,准备以自己的方式展开反击。

此考虑到澳大利亚愈发恶劣的商业环境,华为澳大利亚分公司宣布,停止以主要赞助商的身份赞助澳职业橄榄球联赛队伍——堪培拉奇袭队。在此之前,华为已赞助堪培拉奇袭队长达十年之久,是其最大“金主”。

终止对澳橄榄球队的赞助后不久,华为再“出手”。英媒9月22日消息,华为澳洲子公司首席企业事务官杰里米•米切尔日前透露,公司将继续撤回对澳投资、继续裁员。米切尔表示,澳的5G禁令开始后,华为已裁减了1000个高科技和高收入工作岗位,这使得华为在澳的员工数量从1200降至不到200人,减幅达83%,预计明年还将更低。
