It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.

This press release was purposefully written in a way to disincentivize finding and reading the original "study".
But it's not actually hard to find [oxfordeconomics.com]. Being that this isn't peer reviewed academic research, and is in fact, published by "economic consultants" it doesn't have the typically-required acknowledgements section where you disclose funders.
It does accidentally disclose that the report is private property of the Huawei corporation to be disclosed only with their permission in the appendices. Which says, yes, huawei paid for it, and no it would never have seen the light of day if it didn't say what they wanted it to.
