U.S. rules that China's Huawei must face U.S. criminal charges

Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., a Chinese company founded by Ren Zhengfei in September 1987 is one of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world.


A U.S. judge has ruled that Huawei Technologies, must face criminal charges in a case alleging it stole technology and engaged in racketeering, wire and bank fraud and other crimes.


Judge Ann Donnelly of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York on Tuesday, July 1 declined Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., bid to dismiss 13 alleged charges in a 16-count federal indictment against the company 


In January, 2019, Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker announced criminal charges against Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. According to the announcement, Federal Crimes were alleged against the company, its affiliate in Iran, and a subsidiary in the United States. The charges included theft of intellectual property of an American company, T-Mobile's "Tappy" robot, in an attempt to undermine the free and fair global market.


In February 2020, Huawei Technologies published a statement on its official website titled 'Huawei Statement on U.S. Justice Department Indictment,' in response to the indictment by the U.S. Department of Justice. It stated that the United States government is using its strength as a nation over a private company. It claimed that Huawei Technologies have not been found to have engaged in malicious intellectual property theft or paid damages for infringement on others' intellectual property.


In September 2021, Wanzhou Meng, the Chief Financial Officer of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., appeared in Federal District Court in Brooklyn over charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud.


Judge Ann Donnelly of the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn ruled that the case must proceed to trial.


Official 16 Counts from the Indictment:

  1. Racketeering Conspiracy.
  2. Conspiracy to Steal Trade Secret.
  3. Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud.
  4. Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud.
  5. Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud (second instance).

  8. Bank Fraud (second instance – tied to distinct acts or accounts).
  9. Wire Fraud.
