Chinese tech giant Huawei will take a direct swipe at the Morrison government by claiming 1500 "quiet Australians" will lose their jobs due to a ban on its equipment in 5G mobile networks.

In a speech to be delivered at Huawei's annual supplier summit on Monday, seen in advance by The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, chief executive Hudson Liu attacks the government for job losses expected as a result of the 5G ban imposed in August 2018 and addresses Mr Morrison directly.

It comes amid rising geopolitical tensions between Australia and China, and as Huawei lauches a renewed attempt to get Western governments to overturn bans against its equipment on national security grounds. Reports in the US said the company had launched legal action against key regulators who had prevented it from supplying kit for rural networks.

Referring to Mr Morrison's speech after winning the May election about the victory of "quiet Australians", Mr Liu said his employees and those of his contractors also fell into this category but had been affected "heavily" by the ban.
