Huawei Technologies in the city of Dongguan, in southern Guangdong province, caught fire on Friday afternoon, according to the local fire department and a video posted by news portal Sina.com

The video, which was shot from a high-rise building near the facility, showed large plumes of smoke coming out of the building. An unknown person in the video can be heard saying that several firefighting vehicles have been deployed to the scene.

There were no casualties or injuries in the fire, which broke out at around 3.16pm on Friday in a building that was under construction, located on Alishan Road at Songshan Lake in Dongguan, according to a statement posted on the local fire department’s official WeChat account. It said the fire was extinguished at 4.50pm.

The cause of the blaze is under investigation, but is unclear at this time.

The Dongguan research lab of Huawei mainly conducts research into materials as well as testing for 4G and 5G antennas related to the Shenzhen-based company’s network equipment business, according to a Reuters report, citing a source familiar with the matter.

It is part of a larger Huawei manufacturing complex, the report said. The company has another sprawling European-themed campus close by, which has offices for 25,000 employees.

China is having a very bad year!  Huawei is almost bankrupt as a company because no one wants to deal with them because their products spy and cause a national security threat.
Could this have been an insurance job, or was there something there they needed to coverup?
