TOKYO -- Huawei Technologies of China, which faces growing claims that it might be snooping on device users on behalf of the Chinese state, said on Tuesday that it is now backing a powerful privacy protection regime spearheaded by the European Union.
"Data protection and privacy protection must be done in a sophisticated manner," said Ken Hu, one of the world's largest electronic equipment maker's rotating chairmen. He singled out for praise the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, one of the globe's toughest personal privacy regimes, calling it "a very good model for the world's business sectors."
