2025年10月中旬，華為內部爆發的一起重大紀律事件在中國企業界引發廣泛關注。據華為紀律檢查委員會（華為紀委）正式公告顯示，華為雲計算業務部門（Huawei Cloud BU）在內部審查中被查出存在「業務造假與經濟舞弊」等嚴重問題，牽涉範圍廣、層級高，最終導致多名高層幹部遭到嚴厲處分。此事件被視為華為近年內部整頓中最具震撼力的一次，凸顯企業對內部誠信與紀律的零容忍態度。

根據公告，作為整個華為雲業務的最高負責人，常務董事兼華為雲計算BU首席執行官（CEO）張平安，因對業務造假行為負有主要領導責任，被公司「連降三級」，薪資調整至新職級的最高檔，並受到「嚴重警告」處分。這一處分力度極為罕見，意味著張平安不僅失去了現有職級與權限，也將被剝奪未來晉升與部分管理職務的資格。

除張平安之外，另有三名核心部門負責人也遭到問責：包括華為雲服務產品部部長張宇昕、華為雲計算全球行銷與銷售服務部總裁石冀琳，以及雲計算全球生態部部長康寧。三人均因「管理失職、監督不力」被「連降兩級」處理。據悉，華為紀委此次行動並非針對單一事件，而是經過長期審查後對雲業務內部系統性問題的一次集中清算。

事件起因可追溯至2024年底，當時華為內部審計與紀律監察部門接獲匿名舉報，指稱雲計算事業群部分區域與業務單位在季度績效報告中存在「虛增訂單、誇大收入、偽造合同」等行為，藉此達成考核指標並獲取獎金。經過數月內部交叉核查後，華為確認確有多起資料造假與財務舞弊行為，部分行為甚至涉及與外部供應商、渠道商的利益輸送與虛假採購。

知情人士透露，在內部調查中，華為紀委追查到若干案例中存在“數據回填”與“循環交易”的模式，即華為雲團隊與合作方互相開具虛假訂單，以製造業績增長假象，從而達成內部績效考核指標。雖未造成重大資金損失，但嚴重違背公司誠信原則與財務規範。

面對外界關注，華為公司發表聲明指出，本次問責行動旨在「堅決維護公司運營的真實性與紀律性」，並強調「對任何弄虛作假、損害公司信譽的行為，無論職位高低，一律嚴懲」。聲明同時表示，將加強內部審核制度，推進華為雲業務的透明化改革，並建立獨立的合規監督體系，以防止類似事件重演。

張平安是華為內部極具代表性的人物之一，自1990年代加入公司以來，歷任華為終端業務、中國區市場、消費者業務雲服務等多個核心職務，是華為「雲+AI戰略」的重要推動者。此次被降級與警告，被外界解讀為華為紀委對高層權責問責制度的重大信號。

分析人士指出，華為近年在雲計算領域投入巨大，試圖與阿里雲、騰訊雲競爭市場份額，但在業務急速擴張的過程中，部分團隊為了追求業績與市場佔有率，出現了過度浮誇甚至造假的行為。此次事件的爆發，正反映出高速成長背後的內控漏洞。

目前，華為雲業務並未全面停擺，公司已啟動內部整改方案，並由另一名常務副總暫時代理張平安的職責。華為內部也要求各事業群進行自查，強調「數據真實、過程可追溯」的原則，重新審視獎懲與考核制度。

這場風波不僅對華為雲造成短期衝擊，也被視為中國大型科技企業內部治理的一次警鐘。從張平安被「連降三級」的罕見處分到多名高層集體問責，華為此舉釋放出明確訊號：在企業管理與數據誠信問題上，任何層級的造假行為都將受到嚴厲懲戒，沒有例外。

In mid-October 2025, Huawei was rocked by a major internal disciplinary scandal that has drawn widespread attention across China’s tech and business communities. The company’s internal disciplinary inspection committee announced that its Cloud Computing Business Unit (Huawei Cloud BU) had been found guilty of business fraud and financial misconduct, following a months-long internal audit. The investigation led to severe punishments for several top executives — including the demotion of one of Huawei’s most senior leaders, signaling the company’s zero-tolerance stance toward internal dishonesty and corruption.

According to the official statement, Zhang Ping’an, Huawei’s Executive Director and CEO of Huawei Cloud BU, was held primarily responsible for the misconduct. He was demoted by three ranks, his salary was adjusted downward to the maximum limit of his new position, and he received a serious official warning. Such a punishment is extremely rare within Huawei’s hierarchy, effectively stripping Zhang of his senior executive status and jeopardizing his future prospects within the company.

Three other key Huawei Cloud executives were also disciplined for poor oversight and mismanagement: Zhang Yuxin, head of Huawei Cloud Service Products; Shi Jilin, President of Global Marketing and Sales Services; and Kang Ning, head of the Global Ecosystem Department. All three were demoted by two ranks. Insiders revealed that this disciplinary action was not an isolated response to a single event, but rather part of a broader internal cleanup targeting systemic problems in Huawei’s cloud business operations.

The scandal traces back to late 2024, when Huawei’s internal audit and disciplinary units received anonymous whistleblower reports alleging that certain regional divisions within the Cloud BU had falsified sales data, inflated revenue, and fabricated contracts to meet performance targets and secure bonuses. After months of investigation and data cross-checking, Huawei confirmed that multiple instances of data manipulation and financial impropriety had indeed occurred. Some cases also involved collusion with external suppliers and resellers, engaging in fake procurement and profit-sharing schemes.

According to sources familiar with the investigation, several fraudulent practices were identified, including “data backfilling” and “circular trading,” where Huawei Cloud teams and partner firms created fake transactions to artificially boost performance indicators. Although the misconduct did not result in large direct financial losses, it seriously violated Huawei’s principles of integrity and transparency.

In a public statement, Huawei emphasized that the disciplinary action was taken to “safeguard the authenticity and integrity of the company’s operations” and reaffirmed its commitment that “any behavior involving deceit or damage to Huawei’s reputation — regardless of rank — will be punished severely.” The company also announced plans to strengthen its internal auditing systems, improve compliance supervision, and ensure greater transparency within the Huawei Cloud division.

Zhang Ping’an is considered one of Huawei’s most prominent figures, having joined the company in the 1990s and played a key role in its consumer business and cloud transformation strategy. He has been central to the development of Huawei’s Cloud + AI strategy, which has been critical to the company’s pivot toward digital services. His demotion is widely interpreted as a strong message from Huawei’s leadership that accountability applies even to its highest-ranking executives.

Industry analysts note that Huawei’s aggressive expansion in the cloud computing sector — aiming to compete with Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud — created enormous performance pressure. This pressure, combined with the rapid pace of growth, likely contributed to the emergence of data falsification practices within some departments. The exposure of this scandal underscores the internal control weaknesses that can arise during a company’s high-speed expansion phase.

Huawei Cloud’s operations have not been suspended, but the company has launched a comprehensive internal rectification program. A deputy executive has been appointed to temporarily assume Zhang Ping’an’s duties, while all business units have been ordered to conduct self-inspections, reinforcing the principles of data accuracy, process transparency, and traceable accountability.

This disciplinary wave represents one of Huawei’s most serious internal crackdowns in recent years. From the demotion of a senior board-level executive to the punishment of multiple high-ranking managers, the company’s message is clear: no one is immune from responsibility, and any form of fabrication or misconduct will be met with the harshest penalties. The incident also serves as a broader warning to China’s tech industry — that even the most powerful companies must uphold integrity and transparency in the face of rapid growth.
