Sitrick And Company has secured a one-year contract worth $75K per month to provide strategic communications for Huawei Technologies, which is currently on the US Treasury Department's sanctions list. The agreement, effective May 7, includes media relations, data insights, and public communications, with specific reimbursement levels for travel expenses. In response to a recent alert from the US Commerce Department regarding risks associated with Huawei's advanced chips, a spokesperson from China's Ministry of Commerce criticized the alert as a market distortion and a threat to US-China trade negotiations.
