Federal Prosecutors Pursuing Criminal Case Against Huawei for Alleged Theft of Trade Secrets: Report (wsj.com)
Federal prosecutors are pursuing a criminal investigation of China's Huawei for allegedly stealing trade secrets from U.S. business partners, including the technology behind a robotic device that T-Mobile used to test smartphones, WSJ reported Wednesday. From a report: The investigation grew in part out of civil lawsuits against Huawei, including one in which a Seattle jury found Huawei liable for misappropriating robotic technology from T-Mobile's Bellevue, Wash., lab, the people familiar with the matter said. The probe is at an advanced stage and could lead to an indictment soon, they said. The link to the source article may be paywalled; here's an alternative source.
Here's a pretty good CNBC article about Silicon Valley execs secretly agreeing with Trump's hardline stance on China. Keep in mind, SV tech execs tend to be pretty liberal and CNBC is a part of NBC News so they're well left of center as well.
"If we're ever going to do anything about China, this is the perfect time. If we're ever going to stop them from forcing our companies into dubious joint ventures that represent ridiculous technology transfers and often outright theft, this is the moment."
Why is Putin suddenly opining that Trump helping advance Russian interests, including removing sanctions on Derepaska and vowing to get rid of the Magnitsky Act, is somehow "stupid"?
What's stupid is that Trump supporters are pretending the traitor had no deals with Russia, like he repeatedly claimed, and as we know is dead false.
They didn't criminally prosecute the financial industry for blatant fraud that lead to the loss of trillions of dollars of wealth and almost destroyed the economy but they're going after a company for allegedly stealing the technology that drop-tests $200 smartphones.
Little known fact that the world's largest manufacturer of full communication networks, and, soon to be, the biggest manufacturer of smartphones in the world, can't actually test their devices without having to first steal a "robot" from an American company. Yes, these accusations make a lot of sense.
As long as they do, the WTO needs to treat them that way and remove "most favored nation" status, so that all deals with Chinese entities are much harder.
Basically, the Chinese Govt needs to treat foreign companies exactly the same as local, Chinese companies and not demand technology transfer, partner Chinese companies, 51% Chinese ownership and selective enforcement must stop.
Trump is a traitor, fraud, obvious liar, daughter-luster, lech, groper, boaster, uneducated blatherer, and 6 time walking bankruptcy who pretends to have written a book that the actual author says he's lying about incompetently.
SV liberals are in the business of making money, not supporting treasonous faggots who know nothing about it. FTFY. Even if Trump repeated a good idea, he'd fuck it up on the details. He's a fucking moron.
Anyone supporting him is a fucking moron no matter what his position du jour is.
Basically, the Chinese Govt needs to treat foreign companies exactly the same as local, .
yeah because americans treat chinese companies exactly like local ones
He campaigned on A: HRC locked up, B: Mexico paying C: Russia is our friend D: Corporations need huge tax cuts E: The environment should burn F: Coal is coming back G: He's a military genius
Their wall will never be built, Trump will hang for treason.
Sure the Chinese are thieves but let us not forget that many US companies willingly shared trade secrets with the Communist to have access to their market and get cheap labor. US companies are not blameless.
If it's one thing the Chinese have it is plenty of somewhat nimble fingers. Too bad they use them for stealing IP so much of the time instead of creating capital, ideas, or honest posts. Don't know why they would waste their time on Slashdot though; checking in here periodically only reinforces its loss of import.
You can't steal what can't belong to anyone. Intellectual property is an Imagined concept, that logically destroys itself and is dependent upon blured context and condition Dogma, to be relatable. Nobody owns information,. but my buddies will fuck you up if you don't pretend I do. That's IP in a nutshell.
So where are the Chinese government sponsored eavesdropping microchips that were planted in supermicro servers? or was it a story planted by someone else to divert attention from some country's own proven spying of their own citizens and allies?
