ORATIO PHILIPPICA IN #HUAWEI: A new article by Filip Jirouš @JirousFilip of @sinopsiscz reviews aspects of interactions between HW and some CEE countries, with new info about HW Party work in China and abroad and un-、underreported Baltic developments. https://t.co/C1bvJicB7G 0/ pic.twitter.com/6HTNwYHWrb

2 HW's “support” for the CCP is unambiguous in Chinese, if perhaps less so in English. The nature of Party work within the company does, however, merit further analysis. As Joske https://t.co/D4CoBTLRve first noted, HW Party work overlaps with its “ethics and compliance” system. pic.twitter.com/sYsAN8bquf

4 The continuity btw HW Party work and its Offices of Ethics and Compliance (OEC) isn't hard to see, although the renaming, ‘opening-up’ to non-CCP members and depoliticisation of meetings obscures it somewhat. Chairman Ren warned against CCP members getting voted out of OECs. pic.twitter.com/3DfbkEERsZ

6 At least some HW OECs abroad eschew such openly Partisan trappings. That doesn't mean the CCP leaves them alone. The ‘pledge’ below, at the HW Azerbaijan rep office, was ‘witnessed’ by HW Party sec 周代琪. The Prague OEC, nicknamed ‘life ctte’ 生活委, seems led by a CCP member pic.twitter.com/nNFZT2Hxe1

8 Those of South-Pacific persuasions might like HW OEC study sessions that likewise discuss the challenges a Party member faces. “党员最大的问题是从来不把自己当干部，只认为任命的干部才是干部。OEC小组长、党员都要吧自己当干部，用干部八条严格要求自己” https://t.co/DM0bZzW4b9

12 Hála of @sinopsiscz has called the CCP's elite capture efforts in CEE ‘United Front work by other means’ https://t.co/tXmn1PVQTa. A peculiar map illustrates Huawei's indebtedness to such ‘work’ carried out by the CCP-led system. pic.twitter.com/brlsFo6qI7

14 Based on both original-language and secondary sources and interviews with officials, Jirouš's article summarises some Huawei-related developments elsewhere, notably in the Baltic countries, including some public and less-public attitudes by local security services. pic.twitter.com/fMQmLbaisx

15 The conclusion advises doing as the CCP does: for the Party-state, this is a political issue, involving the Party-led system and whatever allies it can marshal. Its framing as primarily ‘technical’ is classic propaganda legerdemain; it shouldn't fool a serious analyst. pic.twitter.com/zA6fzR5fQl
