Therese Johaug breaks up with Huawei after strong criticism.
The message comes from the Chinese telecommunications giant.
– We terminate the agreement to allow you to focus all your energy on what your focus should be, that is, to remain the best cross-country skier in the world, Huawei writes to NRK.
The news that Therese Johaug and Huawei are breaking their cooperation agreement with immediate effect comes shortly after the ski star has come under fire.
For NRK, Huawei writes:
“We have always placed great value on collaboration with Therese and look forward to collaborating in the future. We wish him all the best for the future. “
Massive criticism
When the Norwegian met with NRK on Thursday morning, it did not want to answer any questions related to Huawei, but only briefly announced that the partners had a good dialogue.
The massive criticism Johaug faced came after reports that the Chinese mobile phone maker had developed facial recognition software to help the Chinese state monitor and monitor the Muslim minority in Uyghurs.
In the past, other stars broke with the telecommunications giant. This summer, artist Zara Larsson broke her contract and more recently, following reports about the Uighurs, soccer star Antoine Griezmann chose to do the same. Swimming star Sarah Sjöström has chosen not to extend her expiring contract, which Sportbladet revealed a week ago.
