China's Huawei Technologies Faces Racketeering Trial in New York
U.S. prosecutors say the company used a shell firm to sell equipment to Iran and expand a sanctions-violating business network.
- Jury selection begins Tuesday in New York for Huawei Technologies' criminal racketeering trial over charges of stealing U.S. trade secrets, wire fraud, and bank fraud.
- The U.S. initiated charges in early 2019, alleging Huawei used a Hong Kong shell company, Skycom, to sell equipment to Iran in violation of sanctions.
- Chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou faced fraud charges for allegedly misleading HSBC about Huawei's Iran dealings; she was arrested in Canada in 2018 and returned to China in 2021.
- Huawei's lawyers argued the case should be dismissed, claiming allegations are "impermissibly extraterritorial," while Chinese officials accused the U.S. of "economic bullying" and misusing national security as a pretext.
- Facing bans from U.S. carriers, Huawei has struggled under sanctions limiting access to processor chips, though the company recently expanded into chipmaking to meet artificial intelligence demand.
