BEIJING – Huawei slammed the US for having “a loser’s attitude” Friday as it reported revenues of over $100 billion for 2018. Rotating chairman Guo Ping made the comments, reported by CNBC, as the US pressures its allies to exclude the Chinese telecom from their 5G rollouts.

“The US government has a loser’s attitude,” he told reporters. “They want to smear Huawei because they can’t compete with us.”

His comments relate to US allegations that Huawei’s products were being used to spy for China, through built-in backdoors that let intelligence agents access data. Guo claimed this would be “suicide” for his company, according to CNBC.

“We have no intention of committing suicide,” he said.
