China rebuffed FedEx Corp.’s claims that it mistakenly rerouted some Huawei Technologies Co. packages to the U.S. and warned that authorities found other violations by the American delivery firm, raising concern the company could face repercussions from Beijing.
“It is not true that its wrong transfer of Huawei parcels were operational errors,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said at a briefing in Beijing on Friday. “During our investigation we also found out other FedEx activities in violation of the law so we will continue to have in-depth investigations on it.”
