Huawei did not acknowledge U.S. allegations at the New York trial.
In a court hearing on March 4, Huawei Technologies did not acknowledge any previous allegations by the Trump administration, including cyber security threats, espionage, and Iranian "helping" actions against it. US sanctions.
Earlier, the Chinese company was also accused of stealing intellectual property from six American companies for years. Although the prospectus does not name these companies, the description shows that these could be telecommunications companies such as Cisco Systems, Motorola, T-Mobile US or Cnex Labs.
In February, U.S. prosecutors also accused Huawei of lying about doing business with North Korea and Iran, violating sanctions from the United States. These are also two crimes that made Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer arrested in Canada and awaiting extradition to the United States.
For its part, Huawei repeatedly said the allegations were "baseless and unfair". They said the allegations "were an attempt by the US Department of Justice to damage Huawei's reputation and business situation for reasons related to competition rather than law enforcement".
For many years, the US government has considered Huawei a security threat. In 2019, the U.S. Treasury Department put Huawei on a technology transaction blacklist, requiring all U.S. companies that want to sell technology to Huawei to obtain a special license. This caused Google to sever its relationship with Huawei, so far new Chinese smartphones are not using Google services.
Meanwhile, the US is also lobbying its allies not to use 5G network equipment made by Huawei. So far both Germany and the United Kingdom, the two major US allies, have accepted Huawei's involvement in 5G development. However, the Chinese company has yet to celebrate.
Germany is waiting to adopt a set of security standards for 5G devices, a technical barrier that could be used to eliminate Huawei equipment. Germany's largest operator, Deutsche Telekom, also announced that it would not choose Huawei equipment.
Meanwhile, the British government also said the Chinese telecommunications giant will be restricted from participating in some "core sensitive functions". At the same time, the amount of equipment of this manufacturer is limited to 35% in the system.
According to Bloomberg, the new decision will increase tensions between the US and China. Huawei has also not escaped sanctions from the US government. The Trump administration is considering amending a number of regulations to prevent chip shipments to Huawei Technologies from companies like TSMC, the world's largest chip maker.
In addition, the US Senate approved a proposal to allow the government to provide $ 1 billion in assistance to small carriers to replace all telecommunications equipment sourced from China.
