Ministry spokesman Shen Danyang said the Chinese company has supplied broadband equipment and services to many countries across the globe, according to a ministry statement on Friday. In Huawei's Australia office, 90 percent of the employees are Australian, and the company has operated without a bad record in the country for the last decade, he added.

"Both China and Australia should uphold an open, cooperative and constructive attitude, so that trade and investment from companies of both nations will be fair," the statement said. The ministry spokesman also said both China and Australia have signed bilateral investment protection agreements.

Australian officials decided to ban Huawei from supplying equipment to the country's National Broadband Network because of worries of cyberattacks coming from China.

In response, Huawei called the ban a "", and noted that expectations for the company are higher given its Chinese origin. To try and resolve the concerns, Huawei is offering to make its source code available and allow audits of its equipment.

Last month, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also the ban. "We hope competent Australian authorities will provide a level and indiscriminative market environment for Chinese companies, instead of wearing colored glasses and obstructing Chinese companies' normal operations in Australia in the name of security," said foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei.
