President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s trip to China will include a tour of Huawei’s innovation center in Shanghai, a stop that may irk the US which alleges the technology company poses a threat to its national security.
The Brazilian leader will visit Huawei Technologies Co.’s site on Thursday, two people familiar with the plan said, requesting anonymity as his full schedule hasn’t been published yet. His trip to China, which includes a bilateral with President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Friday, was delayed by a couple of weeks after Lula had a mild case of pneumonia late last month.
