A building within Huawei’s lab campus in southern China’s Dongguan city caught on fire on Sept. 25 afternoon, killing at least three people. The city government claimed that the building has no relationship with laboratories, but Chinese media quoted Huawei employees who said the facility contains 5G labs.
Huawei is China’s largest manufacturer of telecom equipment. But the company has been banned from several countries’ 5G rollouts amid concerns that its products could be exploited by Beijing to conduct espionage.
