Zara Larsson's deal with Huawei

The 22-year-old singer stated that she does not want to hold Huawei responsible for China's doing.

Now, the singer believes that it was the smartest deal she has done from both professional and personal perspectives. The Lush Life singer believes it is not something she can stand behind and support.

Her comments had led to widespread criticism and the singer was accused of promoting the interests of the Chinese communist regime.
