Huawei faces US racketeering trial over alleged tech theft

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Huawei is facing a racketeering trial in the US, nearly a decade after initial litigation began. The Chinese tech company has pleaded not guilty to 14 charges, including bank fraud, wire fraud, trade secret theft, and racketeering, with alleged criminal activity dating back to 1999. Jury selection commenced this week, with the judge emphasizing impartiality and noting that neither China nor the ongoing US-Iran conflict should influence the proceedings. Huawei maintains that the US government's narrative is false and attributes its recent success, including $126 billion in global sales last year, to its own R&D efforts. AI
