Huawei Technologies Co Ltd said in an open letter that it won't change its partnership with global suppliers, regardless of how "unreasonable" the United States government's approach becomes.

The comments came after the Canadian police arrested Huawei's CFO Meng Wanzhou, at the request of the US. The two countries did not specify the reason for the detention.

Huawei said in the letter to its global suppliers Thursday night that the US has made quite some accusations against the company recently and Huawei has clarified on multiple occasions that it strictly complies with all applicable laws and regulations in its global business operations.

"It is unreasonable for the US government to use these sorts of approaches to exert pressure on a business entity. They are against the spirit of free economy and fair competition. Nevertheless, regardless of how unreasonable their approach becomes, the partnerships we have with our global suppliers will stay unchanged," Huawei said.
