Federal Prosecutors Are Investigating Huawei For Allegedly Stealing Trade Secrets, Says Report (thehill.com)
According to The Wall Street Journal, federal prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation to see if Huawei allegedly stole trade secrets from U.S. companies. The probe is reportedly built out of civil lawsuits against the telecommunications firm. The Hill reports: People familiar with the probe told the Journal that it is at an advanced stage and that an indictment could soon be coming. Huawei has long faced scrutiny from both lawmakers and national security officials, who have labeled the firm as a national security threat over its ties to the Chinese government. The company has denied that characterization, and China this week called for other countries to end âoethe groundless fabrications and unreasonable restrictionsâ on Huawei and other firms.

Twice in one day they get looked into ... must be rough for Huawei
Trump is incompetent and has nothing to do with anything our government ACTUALLY does. They keep him babysat, golfing and tweeting and eating garbage.
Ah the thrill the prosecutors must feel when they finally hold the first indictment in their hands. I bet they pause just a moment - even a very long moment - to take in the beautiful and fierce black letters against the sheer blinding white of professional bond paper - before taunting the indicted, holding it up in their face
I'll never trust you with my deep dark secrets ever again, man.
SJW: Someone who has run out of real oppression, and has to fake it.
Haha. Goofy Chinese spies with their "powerpoint defense" lol. Oh it's unfair, you mean spying is not allowed? Is it because I'm Chinese? Lol, idiots. Execute a few and see if they scale it back.
China is a criminal cabal.
... dupe-licity?
So of course they steal. And they are connected to the evil communist regime of course.
Corporatism != Free Market
As long as Huawei can offer high-end phones for less, they'll always win. Claims of stealing trade secrets will go nowhere. Bottom line is who can create the best phones for the lowest price will win.
I fully expect the 50 Cent Party to be here any moment to "defend China".
So if you see a lot of ACs here defending Huawei, you will understand why -- the Chinese government pays people to sit around all day and "defend China" online.
So why are they out in such numbers?
China is quite upset that Huawei (a front company for China's CIA (Ministry of State Security, MSS)) is being outed as a front company. It's founder is ex-PLA, and the company steals Western secrets to order for the Chinese Communist Party.

He's some ultra-right wing dude who appears to be controlling both msmash and BeauHD (his email address is like 'jmorris@beauhd.com'. I assume he's some sort of 'influencer' who shills stories for little manilla envelopes. He seems to have the market sealed up pretty good as the same stories are spammed here and on the red site (soylentnews) over about a 4 hour window daily, both the BeauHD and the msmash ones, basically verbatim with just the names attached to the submissions different, but always the same two or three nicks.
Really the slashdot editors and the soylentnews editors should scrutinize that more closely and consider not carrying his stories any more. They are mostly hype or flamebait for clicks anyways.
Thank you for being outraged, American dogs! Fight among yourselves!

Novichok bromance?
Chinese technology company under investigation for IP theft? Horror! Shock! I-Completely-Did-Not-Imagine-That-As-A-Legitimate-Possibility! /sarcasm
That's a bit rich from a country that has massive industrial espionage operations against its own allies. The US isn't exactly in a position to judge others in this regard.
But mah freedoms !!
@bluelip: “Evidence that even the editors don't read Slashdot.”
:]
Yea, it's sad seeing a top tech forum reduced to generally spouting MICROS~1 slashvertisments
nuff said
lower costs win, stop your useless complaining. you can't stop the 'market forces' :)
capitalism bitches
oh i see, its good while you exploit others, but when you are exploited in same way its
"please mommy help! the other kid is being mean to me"
what a fucking joke
nothing new to see here, just thief calling other thief "damn dirty thieving scumbag"
This is what you get when you stop having standards, don't act surprised now
Baloney. The US government even fought against European, French I believe, industrial espionage. Don't need espionage with a trillion dollar military industrial complex.
The US spied on France, not the other way around. The US uses industrial espionage on a massive scale to support its military industrial complex. They steal technology and they try to listen in on negotiations with foreign competitors to US companies.
