PALO ALTO, U.S. -- Chinese telecom giant Huawei is hoping to hold talks with the Biden administration "separately" from Beijing to resolve issues including the U.S. export ban on the company and the detention of its CFO Meng Wanzhou.

"We want to have a discussion [with the U.S. administration] separately from the Chinese government. We don't want to be lumped into that discussion," Tim Danks, vice president of risk management and partner relations at Huawei Technologies USA, told Nikkei Asia on Thursday.
