US EditionChina's Huawei must face US criminal charges, judge rules
- A U.S. judge in Brooklyn declined to dismiss key charges against Huawei Technologies in a criminal racketeering case scheduled for trial on May 4, 2026.
- The case began in 2018 under the Trump administration's China Initiative, aimed at addressing alleged intellectual property theft by Chinese companies.
- The 16-count indictment accuses Huawei of racketeering to grow its brand, unlawfully acquiring confidential information from six competitors, committing bank fraud, and deceiving financial institutions about its dealings in Iran through the Hong Kong-based company Skycom.
- Judge Ann Donnelly determined that prosecutors presented sufficient evidence that Skycom functioned as Huawei's subsidiary in Iran, benefiting indirectly from over $100 million in U.S. financial transactions, while Huawei denied the charges, arguing it was being unfairly pursued without basis.
- The case continues to affect Huawei, a Shenzhen-based company with over 208,000 employees operating globally, while the Biden administration scrapped the China Initiative and Meng Wanzhou's charges were dismissed in 2022.
