"Huawei's Lobbying Campaign: Unveiling Gifts, Gadgets, and Greece"

Leaked internal messages reveal Huawei's efforts to cultivate relationships with high-ranking Greek officials and navigate the American-led campaign against its technology. The messages discuss providing gadgets to government ministers, police, and immigration officials, as well as organizing transportation for Greek regulators. While Greece has not outright banned Huawei's products, it has distanced itself from the company and turned to rival vendors for building new 5G networks. Despite this, Huawei's sales in Greece have increased, and the company has battled to maintain its presence in the country. The messages also mention attempts to influence European Parliament members and remove references to cybersecurity and Chinese companies from a technology and science agreement between the US and Greece.
