Chinese telecom equipment major Huawei today said none of its lab at its facilities here is secretive nor was any secretive testing going on and the company was open to visits by government or other agencies.

Huawei also rubbished reports that some of its R&D facilities here were out-of-bounds for Indian employees and only its Chinese staff had access to some areas.

"The company is open to any kind of visit by government or agencies," Huawei Technologies Vice-President (Engineering and CRD Business Line) Virendra Gupta told reporters who were taken around the facility.

He also described as "completely untrue" reports that only the ground and first floors of the R &D facility were accessible to Indian staff and that the floors beyond could be accessed only by Chinese executives.

"There is no floor or facility where the Indians don't have access. Chinese and Indian staff have equal right to all information, assets and facilitates," he said, adding that Indians worked on all the upper floors as well.

Of the 2,000 employees at the R&D facility, only 30 were Chinese, he said and pointed out that many senior management personnel on the business and technical side were Indians, who themselves worked in the upper floors.

Denying that some Chinese staff had "long drawn business trips", he said many were on deputation for just a year and half. The role of Chinese staff was to help in transfer of technology and to act as customer interface and interface between teams of the two countries. Some of them had been deputed as per business requirement, he said.

"Those who visit here act as a technical bridge between the team here and in China," said a senior official.

"All the Chinese employees had valid visas and did not overstay," he said.
