Huawei Technologies Co., the Chinese wireless equipment maker that spent tens of millions of dollars trying to win over US policymakers only to eventually be blacklisted, has shuttered its in-house lobbying operations in Washington.
Huawei’s last two registered lobbyists there — Jeff Hogg and Donald Morrissey — left in recent months, Bloomberg News found. The Shenzhen, China-based firm didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment.
