A latest report from the South China Morning Post has stated that a vendor for smartphone giant Huawei has warned its staff that it will penalize them for using Apple devices.
LCD manufacturer Menpad has said it would fine its employees for using an Apple iPhone in the next three years, for a sum that is equal to the device’s market price.
According to the report, a statement on Menpad’s website has also said the company would reward employees for buying Huawei phones with a 15% subsidy, while ceasing the purchase of any American made office equipment.
Employees who also manage to sell its products in the US will also have their sales commission doubled, it said.
This comes after Huawei recently made headlines over the arrest of its chief financial officer in Canada.
Huawei has issued a public letter to its suppliers all over the globe, criticising the US for “pressuring a company by all means” and calling for “continued support” .
