A U.S. federal judge has reportedly ruled that Huawei Technologies, China’s leading telecommunications equipment manufacturer, must face a sweeping 16-count indictment accusing the company of stealing trade secrets, racketeering, wire and bank fraud, and violating U.S. sanctions. U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly rejected Huawei’s motion to dismiss the charges, calling the company’s arguments premature in a 52-page ruling, according to court documents.
According to a report by news agency AP, the U.S. Justice Department (DoJ) alleges that Huawei and its subsidiaries engaged in a concerted effort to steal American trade secrets, installed surveillance equipment that aided Iran in monitoring protesters during 2009 anti-government demonstrations, and conducted business in North Korea despite U.S. sanctions.
