We firmly believe that this situation can be overcome with joint, comprehensive, and targeted community efforts. We at Huawei are committed to standing strong with the nation during these challenging times.”

In addition to its direct response, Huawei is contributing to provide meal support for more than 18,000 government school children whose families are affected by COVID-19.
