Quà tặng, Điện thoại và Hy Lạp: Bên trong Chiến dịch vận động hành lang của Huawei

cũng nuôi quan hệ với Adonis Georgiadis - bộ trưởng phát triển của hy lạp, người ngồi cạnh ngoại trưởng pompeo của mỹ khi ký thỏa thuận hợp tác khoa học và công nghệ năm 2020 ở thành phố cảng Thessaloniki, (ko hề nhắc chữ nào tới mối nguy an ninh mạng và các cty china)

...In 2020, when Secretary of State Mike Pompeo led a U.S. delegation (phái đoàn, đoàn đại biểu) to Greece to complete a technology and science agreement between the countries, Huawei executives discussed having someone present during the negotiations to help remove references (loại bỏ việc nhắc tới) to cybersecurity (an ninh mạng) and Chinese companies.

“We discussed with Adonis and took it out,” Mr. Tamvakidis wrote to a colleague several months after the summit.

Mr. Tamvakidis was referring to Adonis Georgiadis, a senior Greek minister who sat next to Mr. Pompeo to sign the 2020 agreement in the port city Thessaloniki. Whether Mr. Georgiadis influenced the negotiations in Huawei’s favor is unclear, but the company had fostered a relationship (nuôi dưỡng mối quan hệ) with him for years, according to the internal files (hồ sơ nội bộ) and public information (thông tin công khai).

Huawei employees discussed how Mr. Georgiadis, who was the minister of development at the time, received devices from the company while working as a government official. He also posted pictures of his visits to Huawei’s offices and events on social media. The nonbinding 2020 agreement signed by Mr. Pompeo and Greek officials, which was aimed at strengthening tech and scientific collaboration, did not ultimately mention cybersecurity or Chinese companies.
