Huawei Technologies Co. scheduled a major consumer launch on the anniversary of one of its biggest milestones, the date the founder’s eldest daughter returned to China after three years of house arrest in Canada.
Meng Wanzhou, now one of three top executives at the company, touched down to a triumphant welcome on Sept. 25 2021, emerging from detention over fraud charges raised in the US. She flew home after Beijing and Washington struck a deal. The Shenzhen-based electronics firm has chosen that date for its next showcase of personal electronics.
