China Joe lets'em go!
Huawei CFO (and daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei) Meng Wanzhou has flown home to China from Canada and will not be extradited to the U.S. to face fraud charges. Meng appeared in a Brooklyn, NY, federal court on Friday, September 24, and was arraigned on charges of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud, bank fraud, and wire fraud. The judge accepted a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) Meng had reached with the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) and the DoJ suspended the extradition request.
As part of the DPA, Meng agreed to the accuracy of a four-page "statement of facts" that describes what the DoJ labeled "knowingly false statements" that Meng made to "Financial Institution 1" (thought to be HSBC). To avoid further prosecution on these charges, Meng must avoid commit other federal, state, or local crimes.
The charges revolve around sales of computer equipment Huawei is alleged to have attempted in Iran through a subsidiary/shell company in defiance of Department of Commerce restrictions (see, for example, "U.S. seeks to charge Huawei CFO with bank fraud"). Meng was charged with lying to HSBC in 2013 about the relationship between her company and the shell company, Skycom Tech. Co. Ltd., after Reuters reported the alleged attempted sales activities and the relationship between Huawei and Skycom; Reuters offered further details of the alleged activities in 2019 (see "Reuters alleges additional links between Huawei, Middle East companies at heart of CFO allegations") .
While the DPA suspends DoJ actions against Meng, the U.S. still plans to prosecute Huawei in connection with the attempted computer sales (see "Justice Department files new Huawei charges").
"In entering into the deferred prosecution agreement, Meng has taken responsibility for her principal role in perpetrating a scheme to defraud a global financial institution," said Acting U.S. Attorney Nicole Boeckmann for the Eastern District of New York. "Her admissions in the statement of facts confirm that, while acting as the chief financial officer for Huawei, Meng made multiple material misrepresentations to a senior executive of a financial institution regarding Huawei's business operations in Iran in an effort to preserve Huawei's banking relationship with the financial institution. The truth about Huawei's business in Iran, which Meng concealed, would have been important to the financial institution's decision to continue its banking relationship with Huawei. Meng's admissions confirm the crux of the government's allegations in the prosecution of this financial fraud - that Meng and her fellow Huawei employees engaged in a concerted effort to deceive global financial institutions, the U.S. government, and the public about Huawei's activities in Iran."
Political fallout
Meng's arrest in Vancouver, BC, in 2018 and the subsequent extradition hearings heightened tensions between the U.S. and China as well as strained relations with Canada. After Meng's arrest, China arrested two Canadian citizens on espionage charges, convicting one. Both Canadian citizens were released from Chinese custody shortly after Meng departed Canada, although China had denied their cases were tied to Meng's.
China had consistently insisted on Meng's innocence while charging her arrest was politically motivated, particularly after then President Donald Trump signaled he'd be willing to intervene under the right conditions (see "Huawei CFO granted bail; Trump considers intervention"). "The Chinese side's position on the Meng Wanzhou incident has been consistent and clear-cut. It has long been a fully proven fact that this is an incident of political persecution against a Chinese citizen, an act designed to hobble Chinese high-tech companies," said Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying via a prepared statement issued September 25. "The so-called 'fraud' charges against Ms. Meng Wanzhou are purely fabricated. Even HSBC, the so-called 'victim portrayed by the US side, has disclosed materials that are sufficient to prove Ms. Meng's innocence. What the United States and Canada have done is a typical case of arbitrary detention."

'Political persecution': China says US 'totally fabricated' charges against Huawei CFO detained in Canada for years
China's Foreign Ministry has rejected the United States' charges of fraud against Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou, which led to her detainment for several years, calling them "totally fabricated" and an act of political persecution.

Meng - who is the daughter of Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei - finally returned home to China on Saturday following years of detainment in Canada. She had been arrested by Canadian police at Vancouver International Airport in December 2018 due to an extradition request from the United States, which accused her of fraud in an attempt to circumvent its sanctions on Iran.
The US pulled its charges and extradition request on Friday.
On Saturday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying claimed that the US and Canada's detainment of Meng had been "political persecution" and that the "so-called 'fraud' allegation" against her was "totally fabricated."
"It has long been a fully proven fact that this is an incident of political persecution against a Chinese citizen, an act designed to hobble Chinese high-tech companies," the spokesperson said. "What the United States and Canada have done is a typical case of arbitrary detention."
Shenzhen's Ping'an International Financial Center skyscraper welcomed Meng home on Saturday with a message of support lit up on the side of the building, while supporters of Meng welcomed her home with signs at Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport.
As her plane landed, Meng expressed relief at having "finally returned home."
"After more than 1,000 days of suffering, I finally returned to the embrace of my motherland," she said, adding that "waiting in a foreign country was full of suffering."
Just hours after Meng's release on Friday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that two Canadian citizens accused of espionage and collecting sensitive information, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, had been released from a Chinese prison and were on their way home.

No One Enjoys 'Fairer Hearing,' Lawyer for Canadian Govt Says of Meng Wanzhou's Extradition
No one had a "fairer hearing" than Meng Wanzhou, a lawyer for the Canadian attorney general told the court while arguing against a stay of proceedings, adding that no misconduct was involved in the Huawei executive's extradition case.
Robert Frater told the British Columbia Supreme Court on Tuesday that no misconduct from either the United States or the Canadian border officials had occurred when they were handling the case.
Meng, the chief financial officer for China's telecom giant Huawei Technologies, and daughter of the company's founder, Ren Zhengfei, was arrested by the Canadian police on a U.S. warrant in December 2018, at the Vancouver airport while en route to Mexico.
Meng is wanted in the United States on charges of bank fraud, as she allegedly lied to multiple financial institutions about Huawei's business dealings with Iran, leading them to violate U.S. sanctions against the Middle East country. Meng and Huawei have both denied these charges.
Defence lawyers have argued that Meng's case should be tossed out as a remedy to the series of abuses she has suffered-which ranged from an alleged abuse of process by Canadian police and border officers, to the U.S. government's alleged withholding of crucial details from Canada in an attempt to mislead the court.
Shortly after her arrest, Meng was released on bail and put under house arrest in one of her multimillion-dollar mansions in Vancouver. During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in January, Immigration Canada granted Meng's husband, Liu Xiaozong, and their two childRen travel exemptions to visit her in Vancouver.
Meng's arrest soured the bilateral relationship between Canada and China, and led to serious repercussions for several Canadian citizens in China in a series of retaliatory arrests and trials that are widely seen as Beijing's "hostage-diplomacy."
On Monday, the Higher People's Court of Liaoning Province in northeastern China rejected a death-sentence appeal by Robert Schellenberg, a Canadian convicted of drug offenses.
In November 2018, Schellenberg was given a 15-year person term for drug smuggling, but his sentence was abruptly increased to a death sentence a month after Meng's arrest.

Lawyers for Huawei CFO Meng, Canadian Government Spar Over Publication of HSBC Documents
Lawyers for the detained Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou and the Attorney General of Canada (AGC), which is representing the United States in its bid to extradite the Chinese executive, sparred in court on Monday over the publication of HSBC documents from Hong Kong.
In April, the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ordered HSBC, the bank that Meng is alleged by the US Justice Department to have defrauded, to release additional documents to the executive's defense team and to Canadian government prosecutors representing the AGC and the US.
Meng's legal team, which applied for a publication ban on the documents last week, maintains a gag order is necessary to protect commercial secrets and encourage HSBC to participate in the legal process.
In a live transmission of court proceedings for an accredited reported on Monday, defense attorney Tony Paisana argued before British Columbia Supreme Court Justice Heather Holmes that the Hong Kong court authorized the release of the documents into the possession of the parties involved and that they are not intended for publication.
Government prosecutor John Gibb-Carsley, however, told Holmes that the court in Hong Kong instructed the sides to keep the details out of the public eye if it met the legal threshold in the jurisdiction where the proceedings are being held. The attorney argued that the legal threshold has not been met.
"There is no evidence of any positive benefit to banning publication that could outweigh the negative impact on freedom of expression and the administration of justice," the prosecutors said in a written response to Meng's application.
The public, through the media, has the right to know the facts of the case, Gibb-Carsley emphasized.
The next hearing is scheduled for June 29.
Meng, the daughter of Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei, was arrested at the request of the US government on December 1, 2018, at Vancouver International Airport during a layover stop. She is wanted by US authorities concerning allegations that she has a role in violating US sanctions against Iran. The Justice Department alleges that Meng, from 2010 to 2014, committed illegal financial transactions by misleading the multinational financial conglomerate, HSBC, into approving more than $100 million in transactions that contravened US sanctions on Iran.
Meng remains under house arrest in Vancouver, although is free to traverse the region in the company of state-imposed guards outside of her 11:00 p.m to 6:00 a.m. curfew.

Canadian Authorities Made Effort to Share Huawei CFO's Phone Passcodes With FBI, Defense Says
Canadian authorities made a concerted effort to covertly share Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou's phone passcodes with the FBI, a lawyer representing the executive said on Thursday.
Extradition hearings against Meng resumed on Thursday, with the executive's defense team arguing that misconduct on the part of Canadian authorities is in line with the "second branch" of abuse of process.
During the arrest at Vancouver's International Airport, Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) agents sealed the executive's mobile devices in special bags, designed to prevent remote wiping, and transferred it to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) but not before a border agent obtained the passcodes to the phones from Meng and placed them in the bags.
"Why would you need the passcodes," Defense attorney Tony Paisana asked British Columbia Supreme Court Justice Heather Holmes, elaborating that the bags were not to be unsealed before the transfer.
"That context, coupled with the timing, minutes before she's about to be turned over to the RCMP, we say indicates that the purpose of this act - the compulsion of her passcode - would be to ultimately share it with the one party that would care, the FBI," Paisana said.
In earlier hearings, Canadian officers testified that the passcodes to the Huawei executive's phones were obtained just moments before her arrest. CBSA officer Scott Kirkland told the British Columbia Supreme Court in October 2020 that he placed the passcodes to the phones - in violation of procedure - in error. Paisana told the court it is his belief that Kirkland was "untruthful" in his testimony.
The defense attorney also rejected the notion that the agents were inexperienced or made trivial errors, saying the officers in question had previously participated in the extradition process and their internal discussions indicated they were knowledgeable about the mandate they possessed. Additionally, Paisana quoted earlier testimony which revealed that supervising officers ordered that their transgressions not be documented.
"The fact they didn't do a great job violating her rights, doesn't mean they didn't violate her rights," Paisana said.
Meng, the daughter of Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei, was arrested on December 1, 2018 at Vancouver International Airport during a layover stop at the request of the US government.
Meng is wanted by US authorities for her alleged role in violating sanctions against Iran. The Justice Department alleges that Meng committed financial transgressions by misleading multinational financial conglomerate, HSBC, into approving more than $100 million in transactions that contravened US sanctions on Iran from 2010 to 2014.
The arrests of Meng and two Canadian nationals - diplomat Michael Kovrig and businessman Michael Spavor - on charges of espionage in China, along with other disputes have reduced bilateral relations between the two countries to their lowest point in years.
The trial of the "two Michaels" - as the pair is referred to at home - will begin on Friday, Foreign Minister Marc Garneau revealed on Wednesday.
Both nations view the detention of their nationals by the other as political incidents.
The hearings in this extradition case are expected to conclude in mid-May.
Meng remains under house arrest in Vancouver, although she is free to traverse the region in the company of state-imposed guards outside of her 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. curfew.

Human Rights Group Exposes China's Network Of Secret Political Prisons Where 2 Canadians Are Being Held
Following some rumblings late last week in the FT, which noted that Jack Ma, the Chinese billionaire and Alibaba co-founder (and former Chairman) who recently had a disastrous falling out with the CCP, had appaRently been fired from his own show, the western media appaRently only just noticed on Sunday night that Ma hasn't been seen publicly in 2 months.
The story immediately sparked speculation about Ma's whereabouts - speculation that was exacerbated by the defeating silence from Beijing (the CCP essentially ignored the story while China's subservient media and its army of censors went to work).
On Twitter, reporters likened the appaRent kidnapping of Ma (presumably by CCP thugs, as many assumed he might already be living in a reeducation camp, or one of China's many 'secret prisons') to the US federal government ordering the sudden arrest of Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg (on dubious charges).
But in the pages of the FT, the paper's reporters pointed out that Ma's disappearance isn't really that revolutionary, and that Beijing has been using the CCP's rule over the law to detain not just domestic dissidents, but foreigners as well. Beijing has ramped up these tactics over the last 2 years, since two Canadians - diplomat Michael Kovrig and businessman Michael Spavor - were arrested in late 2018 on national security related charges. Accused of spying, the men were confined to secret prisons, where they were subjected to torture, denied contact with family and Canadian diplomatic officials.
It's widely believed the two men were detained in retaliation for Canada's arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of Huawei's founder, Ren Zhengfei, himself a prominent businessman. However, while Meng has spent most of this time on house arrest, Spavor and Kovrig have been treated abominably.
As the world waits to learn the fate of the two Canadians, for the first time, the FT has published details about the program under which Spavor, Kovrig and tens of thousands of others have been detained across mainland China. The information was reportedly provided by Swedish human-rights group Safeguard Defenders.
Michael Kovrig, a former diplomat, and entrepReneur Michael Spavor are among almost 30,000 people who have been held in the facilities from 2013-19, according to Safeguard Defenders, a human rights group co-founded by Swedish citizen Peter Dahlin, who was himself held in a secret prison.
Activists and former diplomats are urging the international community to maintain an assertive approach to Beijing, arguing that quiet diplomacy has proven ineffective. The Canadians were detained in December 2018 following the arrest in Vancouver of Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Huawei and daughter of the telecom group's founder. Ms Meng was held after the US issued an extradition request over alleged violations of sanctions against Iran and has been living under house arrest since 2018.
Huawei has asserted that she is innocent of the charges. Mr Kovrig and Mr Spavor have spent six months in secret prisons under a programme started in 2013 known as "residential surveillance at a designated location" and were only allowed to meet consular officials once during that time.

Canada police conduct under microscope in witness testimony for Huawei CFO's U.S. extradition case
VANCOUVER (Reuters) - Witness testimony in Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou's extradition case this week will be largely focused on the behind-the-scenes conduct of Canadian police in the lead-up to Meng's arrest two years ago on a warrant from the United States, moving away from her treatment by border agents.
Meng, 48, is accused of misleading the bank HSBC on Huawei Technologies Co Ltd's business affairs in Iran, allegedly causing the bank to break U.S. sanctions. If Canadian prosecutors are successful in extraditing her, Meng will face trial for wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit these crimes in the Eastern District of New York.
She denies the charges and is fighting them from under house arrest in Vancouver. Her lawyers have argued the arrest is the product of political interfeRence.
Meng's lawyers have submitted that border officials invented parts of their witness accounts after the fact to cover up illegal cooperation with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
They are fighting to get Meng's extradition dismissed on the basis of alleged abuses of process, arguing they constitute violations of her civil rights laid out in Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Witnesses for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the RCMP have denied these allegations in affidavits and under cross examination.
Officers with the CBSA testified last week that their questioning of Meng, daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, followed standard procedures and was separate from any action by law enforcement.
Beginning Monday a series of police witnesses will speak to their role in Meng's arrest at the Vancouver International Airport in December 2018. When RCMP Constable Gurvinder Dhaliwal was called to the witness stand late Friday, he said he "didn't have a clue" what Huawei was and had never heard the name Meng Wanzhou before December 2018.
Diplomatic relations between Ottawa and Beijing have degraded in the wake of Meng's arrest. China arrested Canadian citizens Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig on espionage charges days later.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has resisted calls to release Meng, and last week he reiterated that Canada "followed its laws" and "lived up to a longstanding extradition treaty with our closest ally."
Witness testimony is set to last five days until Friday, with the potential for two to three more days being scheduled in December. Meng's extradition hearing is expected to wrap up in April 2021.

Huawei Revenue Growth Wilts Under 'Intense Pressure'
Huawei's revenue growth slowed significantly in the first nine months of 2020, the Chinese telecom giant said Friday, citing "intense pressure" on operations during the coronavirus and as the US moves to cut off its access to vital components.
Huawei, the leading global supplier of telecoms networking equipment and a top smartphone producer, said it grossed 671.3 billion yuan ($100.7 billion) in revenue in January-September, up 9.9 percent year-on-year.
That's down from 24.4 percent growth over the same period last year, while its profit margin fell to 8.0 percent from 8.7 percent last year.
Washington views Huawei, founded in 1987 by former People's Liberation Army engineer Ren Zhengfei, as a Chinese espionage threat and has lobbied allies to shun its gear while attempting to block its access to global semiconductor supplies.
"As the world grapples with Covid-19, Huawei's global supply chain was put under intense pressure and its production and operations saw increasing difficulties," the company said.
It vowed to "do its best to find solutions, to survive and forge ahead".
The brief announcement made no direct refeRence to the US pressure, nor did it include a performance breakdown for its various segments, such as smartphone sales. Privately held Huawei provides such details only for half-year and full-year earnings.

China's Huawei responds to US crackdown by boosting investment in Russia
Aggressive US policies targeting Huawei have forced the Chinese tech giant to redirect investment to Russia and expand operations in the country, Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei has revealed.
"After the United States included us in the Entity List, we transferred our investment in the United States to Russia, increased Russian investment, expanded the Russian scientist team, and increased the salary of Russian scientists," Ren said as cited by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, one of the four top Chinese universities he visited. While the visit came in late July, the university did not publish a transcript of his speech until this weekend.
It is unclear how much the world's largest telecommunications equipment vendor is now pouring into Russia. Last year, Huawei announced plans to invest more than $10 million in the development of its mobile services ecosystem in Russia and vowed to give around $7.8 million to promote 5G technology in the country and train 10,000 specialists by 2025. It has also teamed up with Russian operators on the rollout of the next-generation networks, and helped launch the first 5G test zone in Moscow.
With the US and China locked in a trade war, the Trump administration has blacklisted Huawei and other Chinese firms, alleging they are national security threats.
Despite Huawei's denials of the accusation, Washington continues to put pressure on the company, recently depriving it of foreign chip supplies. Earlier this month, the tech giant acknowledged that it will have to stop making the chipsets powering its flagship smartphones.
"Some US politicians want Huawei dead," Huawei's founder said in the recently published speech. Ren added that American politicians' attitudes does not represent American companies and society, so the company "will never hate" the US, "no matter what."

Huawei Moves US Investments to Russia to Avoid Sanctions Crackdown
The US government began introducing restrictions against the Chinese tech giant in 2019, citing alleged technology theft and the use of hard-coded 'back doors' enabling Chinese intelligence to spy on foreign users. The company has ardently denied the claims, and said it would welcome any independent security checks of its products.
Huawei has dramatically ramped up investment in Russia due to US restrictions against the tech giant, CEO Ren Zhengfei has said.
"After the United States included us in the Entity List, we transferred our investment in the United States to Russia, increased Russian investment, expanded the Russian scientist team, and increased the salary of Russian scientists," Ren said in a recent speech to Chinese universities, his comments cited by Shanghai Jiao Tong University on Sunday.

The Chinese telecom giant's chief financial officer was arrested on a US warrant in December 2018 during a stopover in Vancouver, and court arguments had thus far been focussed on the narrow question of whether a US extradition request was lawful.
But a Canadian judge ruled in May that extradition proceedings could go ahead against Meng the 48-year-old daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei and known within the company as its "Princess" and a new phase opens in coming weeks that pivots to the actual charges.

Huawei Founder Said the Company Entered 'State of War', Media Claims
One memo reportedly describes Huawei's founder comparing the company's success in convincing the UK to let them build the 5G networks in the country to winning the Battle of Stalingrad.
It seems that the leadership of Chinese tech giant Huawei has adopted some rather war-like vocabulary amid the company's complicated relationship with the United States, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Citing a transcript that was allegedly confirmed by two Huawei executives, the media outlet states that during his previous visit to the company's R&D center in Hangzhou, Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei told the employees to take pointers from Google and to "surge forward, killing as you go, to blaze us a trail of blood".
The visit in question took place about a month after Ren's daugher, Huawei's chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, was arrested in Canada in 2018, and now faces extradition to the United States on charges of violating US trade sanctions.
Later, while at a Huawei campus in Wuhan, Ren announced to the employees that "the company has entered a state of war".
The media outlet also cites a memo penned by Huawei's head of public affairs Catherine Chen.
"Mr Ren has pointed out the right way forward for us, which is to adopt a Western mindset to solve the issues we face in Western markets", Chen reportedly stated.
A later memo cited by WSJ also describes Ren likening Huawei's success in convincing the UK to let them build the 5G networks in the country to "the success of the Battle of Stalingrad, which was a turning point that reshaped the global landscape".
Having previously banned US federal agencies from using Huawei products, the Trump administration also put the Chinese company on a trade blacklist and mounted a global push to cut it out of the lucrative 5G market.
Washington also moved to curb Huawei's chip-making capability and adopted a rule that prevents US phone carriers in rural areas from tapping into government subsidies for Huawei's equipment.
While the US accuses Huawei of stealing trade secrets and spying on behalf of the Chinese government, Beijing and the company vehemently deny the allegations.

US fears Huawei coronavirus health tools are subterfuge for China to gather data on people
Flagship Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei is offering global telemedicine services to counter the coronavirus pandemic, but U.S. analysts suspect the public health applications will extend China's high-tech surveillance state overseas. "These things sound so wonderful that it's almost easy to forget how dangerous they are," a senior U.S. official told the Washington Examiner. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has discouraged allies around the world from partnering with Huawei to build their cutting edge telecommunications networks, arguing that Beijing's spy services will exploit the next generation wireless technology. Now, Huawei is attempting to follow the coronavirus into countries where public health officials are struggling to identify new cases and provide health care - with ominous implications for intelligence and national security. "Huawei is an extension of the Chinese state," the Heritage Foundation's Klon Kitchen, an expert in the national security and economic implications of technology policy, told the Washington Examiner. "Beijing and Huawei are demonstrating the agility and the ability to kind of take advantage of the moment, and they're continually trying to integrate themselves further and further into host nation infrastructure and services."
Huawei officials have made no secret of their hope that they see their pandemic response as a potential tool to counter U.S. pressure. "The U.S. will continue to increase sanctions on us, and we will have to complete [the new technologies] before that happens," Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei said during a recent interview with the South China Morning Post. "Even when the West is feeling the mounting impact of the coronavirus, most of our projects can actually enhance their capabilities." The company says it has launched a platform to "use innovative technologies such as cloud and AI to fight the pandemic," including diagnostic services such as "AI-assisted CT scan analysis." Huawei has offered "remote temperature monitoring" services to India, one of the world's largest economies and most important U.S. partners in the Indo-Pacific region. "5G remote imaging diagnosis platforms for collaboration and 5G medical robots were also used to help care for quarantined patient," Huawei India told local media. "The success of 5G applications in the public health domain could also inspire businesses in other sectors to leverage 5G's popularity and explore new applications of the technology."
That candid marketing strategy, paired with the need to identify and isolate patients infected with the coronavirus as quickly as possible, might induce some health policy officials to import the same kinds of technology that Chinese telecommunications giants have provided to dictators in need of modern surveillance programs. "The same types of things that they use in networked health systems, software, and hardware are also applicable in other things," a senior U.S. official told the Washington Examiner. "It's connectivity plus AI to make usable intelligence about that that you can exploit. So telemedicine becomes a huge dimension of that, of getting all the feeds and things and being able to make diagnoses or other things that give you intel about the person." U.S. officials warn that all data provided to Huawei is available to Chinese intelligence analysts. "That information is going to be made available, by law, to the Chinese government, and therefore it is surveillance," Kitchen emphasized.
The data collection needed to fight the novel coronavirus could be an intelligence officer's nightmare if the information passes over Huawei systems, according to a former member of President Trump's national security team. "This contact tracing? Contact tracing is really about listing out who you've been in contact with," the Hudson Institute's Rob Spalding, a retired Air Force general, told the Washington Examiner. "So if you're building a dossier on somebody, if you're doing contact tracing, you know everybody they have a relationship with." If Huawei can help public health officials with contact tracing, it could help Chinese spy agencies figure out, for instance, which government officials are spending the night with women who aRen't their wives. "The limits are only your own imagination," the senior U.S. official said.

Is Huawei 'Gifting' PPE In Exchange for 5G Contracts?
Huawei has gifted "millions of protective masks and gloves to Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Poland, Greece and Switzerland,"as Reuters reported. But there's more to this generosity than meets the eye, as asserted by Congressman Mark Green (R-TN), who told Fox News this week: "In France, we were told yesterday on a confeRence call that [FRench President Emanuel] Macron was talking to [Chinese President] Xi and Macron asked for a billion masks, and Xi said, 'We'll give them to you if you implement 5G with Huawei.' That's who China is and it's time the world wake up and recognize it."
To skeptics, Huawei's efforts illustrate an attempt to secure lucrative 5G contracts amidst new January EU guidelines - which block Huawei from developing critical infrastructure networks. In response to the accusations, Huawei spokesman Joe Kelly said, "a small minority may have misunderstood our motives, which are simply to help people when and where we can." Quick to defend Huawei's generosity, the European Union's Industry Chief, Thierry Breton, condemned public accusations of any supposed ulterior motive replying: "Now the epicenter of the pandemic is in Europe... of course we welcome the fact that the Chinese government is saying 'how can we return the help.'"
It now appears Breton spoke too soon. Huawei is a telecommunications equipment giant and the world's second-largest smartphone supplier behind Samsung. Founded in 1987 by Ren Zhengfei, Huawei today employs nearly 200,000 people across the globe. Mr. Ren Zhengfei himself belongs to China's Communist Party and served as a military officer in the People's Liberation Army for nine years. According to Huawei, "When Ren Zhengfei was a young man, you needed to be a Communist Party member to have any position of responsibility." Therein lies the problem. To be a successful businessman in China, you have to toe the party line.
Reviews conducted by the Wall Street Journal corroborate the speculated Huawei-Beijing alliance. Starting out as an unknown phone switch vendor, Huawei has metamorphosized into the world's largest telecommunications equipment company in the blink of an eye. Facilitated by grants, credit facilities, tax breaks, and other forms of financial assistance, Huawei's rise stemmed from generous government backing. Analysts report that Huawei's charitable financing terms "undercut rivals' prices by some 30%" Huawei's allegiance to Beijing is particularly alarming considering the Chinese Communist Party's egregious human rights record.
In the Xinjiang province, China's imprisons much of its minority Muslim population. According to The Hill, "within Xinjiang, Chinese authorities have built a system of unmatched surveillance and social control facilitated by facial recognition scans, voice biometric data, DNA collection, and artificial intelligence for racial profiling." Recently, reports have surfaced tying Huawei to the CCP's repression efforts. According to United States Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, Huawei poses "massive security and privacy risks." Fearful of Huawei's desire to dominate the global 5G network and thus infiltrate our allies' countries, Pompeo warns: "With 5G capabilities, the CCP could use Huawei to steal private or proprietary information or use kill switches to disrupt critical future applications like electrical grids and telesurgery centers." Attorney General William Barr also sounded the Huawei alarm during a speech he gave at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in February stating: "Much of the discussion on the dangers of allowing China to establish dominance in 5G has been focused on the immediate security concern of using communications networks that China can monitor and surveil. That is, in fact, a monumental danger."

Huawei CFO Meng's lawyer says 'double criminality' at center of U.S. extradition case
A lawyer for Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou argued on Monday that "double criminality" was at the center of a trial to decide whether Meng can be extradited to the United States, a case that has strained relations between Ottawa and Beijing. Meng, 47, arrived in a Vancouver courtroom wearing a dark top with polka dots, for the first phase of a trial that will last at least four days, as China repeated its call for Canada to release her.
Legal experts have said it could be years before a final decision is reached in the case, since Canada's justice system allows many decisions to be appealed. The United States has charged Meng with bank fraud, and accused her of misleading HSBC Holdings Plc about Huawei Technologies Co Ltd's [HWT.UL] business in Iran. Court proceedings show the United States issued the arrest warrant, which Canada acted on in December 2018, because it believes Meng covered up attempts by Huawei-linked companies to sell equipment to Iran, breaking U.S. sanctions against the country.
Meng is the daughter of Huawei's billionaire founder Ren Zhengfei and remains free on bail in Canada. She has said she is innocent and is fighting extradition in part because her alleged conduct was not illegal in Canada, an argument known legally as "double criminality." Unlike the United States, Canada did not have sanctions against Iran at the time Canadian officials authorized commencing with the extradition, her lawyers have said. The courtroom was packed with only standing room available.
Meng's legal team is curRently only scheduled to call evidence in the last week of April, and a second phase of the trial, focusing on abuse of process and whether Canadian officials followed the law while arresting Meng, is set to begin in June. Closing arguments are expected in the last week of September and first week of October.

Huawei plans to shift research center to Canada from U.S.: Globe and Mail
(Reuters) - Huawei Technologies Co Ltd plans to shift its research center to Canada from the United States, Ren Zhengfei, the founder of the Chinese telecoms equipment maker, said in an interview with Canada's Globe and Mail. Ren's remarks came as Reuters reported on Friday that the United States is weighing expanding its power to stop more foreign shipments of products with U.S. technology to Huawei. The U.S. Commerce Department in May placed Huawei on a trade blacklist, citing national security concerns.
Huawei's "centre for research and development will be moved out of the United States. And that will be relocated to Canada," Ren told the Globe and Mail, adding that the company will also manufacture some mobile network equipment outside China. The Huawei founder wants to build new factory capacity in Europe to make fifth-generation (5G) networking equipment there, hoping to assuage fears stemming from U.S. allegations that its product could be used by China for spying, the Globe and Mail reported. Huawei was not immediately available to comment on Ren's interview when contacted by Reuters. The firm has previously denied it is a risk to U.S. national security.
The company spent $510 million on the operations of its U.S. research arm last year, according to the Globe and Mail report, which added that it has now trimmed the arm's work force by 600 to about 250. Separately, Ren's daughter and Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou, who was arrested by Canadian police on a U.S. warrant late last year, is fighting extradition to the United States on charges of violating sanctions against Iran. She is curRently out on bail. Huawei has denied the charges and China has urged Canada to release her. Commenting on her case, Ren said that it is an example of "obvious political interfeRence from the U.S.".

U.S. government staff told to treat Huawei as blacklisted
A senior U.S. official told the Commerce Department's enforcement staff this week that China's Huawei should still be treated as blacklisted, days after U.S. President Donald Trump sowed confusion with a vow to ease a ban on sales to the firm.
Trump surprised markets on Saturday by promising Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Japan that he would allow U.S. companies to sell products to Huawei Technologies Co Ltd
In May, the company was added to the so-called Entity List, which bans American firms from selling to it without special permission, as punishment for actions against U.S. national security interests.
Trump's announcement on Saturday - an olive branch to Beijing to revive stalled trade talks - was cheered by U.S. chipmakers eager to maintain sales to Huawei, the world's largest telecoms equipment maker and a key U.S. customer.
But Trump's comments also spawned confusion among industry players and government officials struggling to understand what Huawei policy he had unveiled.
In an email to enforcement staff on Monday that was seen by Reuters, John Sonderman, Deputy Director of the Office of Export Enforcement, in the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), sought to clarify how agents should approach license requests by firms seeking approval to sell to Huawei.
All such applications should be considered on merit and flagged with language noting that "This party is on the Entity List. Evaluate the associated license review policy under part 744," he wrote, citing regulations that include the Entity List and the "presumption of denial" licensing policy that is applied to blacklisted companies.
He added that any further guidance from BIS should also be taken into account when evaluating Huawei-related license applications.
Huawei told Reuters earlier on Wednesday that founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei had said Trump's statements over the weekend were "good for American companies".
"Huawei is also willing to continue to buy products from American companies. But we don't see much impact on what we are curRently doing. We will still focus on doing our own job right," a Huawei spokesman said in an email.
The Commerce Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A person familiar with the matter said the letter was the only guidance that enforcement officials had received after Trump's surprise announcement on Saturday. A presumption of denial implies strict review and most licenses reviewed under it are not approved.
It is unclear when the Commerce Department will provide its enforcement staff with additional guidance, based on Trump's promises, and how that might alter the likelihood of obtaining licenses.
The internal memo, not previously reported, came as White House advisers also scrambled to shed light on Trump's announcement.
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro noted on Tuesday that the government would allow "lower tech" chip sales to the company, which don't impact national security.

How the Clintons Made Money From Huawei
When Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies, was arrested in Canada on Dec. 1 through an extradition warrant from the United States, American media described in detail how the company had appaRently conspired to evade U.S. sanctions on Iran.
Huawei has seemingly long been involved in helping terrorist states and seemingly seeking to thwart U.S. sanctions. Meng is the daughter of Huawei's founder, Ren Zhengfei.
As details of Huawei's complicity with Iran emerge, it is time to look back on the Clinton family and its close relationship with Huawei. When their connection was first exposed more than a decade ago, it just seemed like another shady Clinton deal. But now, it has become clear that Huawei has been central to the Iranian efforts to evade first U.N. and then U.S. sanctions. The Clintons were appaRently conspiring with the enemy.
Huawei has long been a bad actor in undermining U.S. foreign policy. The company seems to have had a deep and long-term relationship with the Clinton family.
Huawei and the Clintons' ties began when Terry McAuliffe, the Clintons' top fundraiser and future governor of Virginia, bought a Chinese car company - GreenTech Automotive - and moved it to the U.S. in the hopes that it would produce electric cars.
McAuliffe got Huawei to invest in GreenTech through a financing firm called Gulf Coast Funds Management, headed by Hillary's brother Tony Rodham. Gulf Coast, boasting the Rodham name, agreed to help Huawei get visas for its top executives under the EB-5 program, which awards visas to those who invest at least $500,000 in the U.S. to create jobs. The feds had already turned Huawei down because of its links to the Chinese military.
Huawei's misdeeds are plentiful.
It appaRently helped Saddam Hussein install fiber-optic cables in violation of U.S. sanctions.
It also appaRently helped the Taliban by installing a phone system in Kabul, Afghanistan.
It appaRently stole proprietary material from U.S. high-tech company Cisco Systems. This material ended up in Chinese hands.
In 2013, Huawei appaRently tried to sell telecom equipment made by Hewlett-Packard to Iran, in defiance of sanctions. And until a few weeks ago, the paRent company of Huawei's Iranian business partner was partly owned by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is playing a key role in Iran's nuclear program.
According to the South China Morning Post, the U.S. action against Huawei "will severely damage, even cripple, the Chinese company. Of Huawei's 92 core suppliers, 33 are U.S. corporations, including chip makers Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Marvell and Micron. If Washington now prohibits these companies from selling to Huawei, the Chinese telecoms giant will struggle to survive."
And if their full role in the appaRent liaison with Huawei comes out, so will Bill and Hillary's.

Huawei's secret back doors
An investigation of the telecommunications equipment produced by China's Huawei Technologies Ltd. has uncovered numerous cases of secret access points that could allow Chinese intelligence to conduct cyberoperations through the equipment. Finite State, a cybersecurity research firm, conducted a survey of Huawei equipment and discovered that 55% of Huawei hardware devices it tested contained at least one backdoor access point. '''
The vulnerabilities in Huawei products pose serious security threats of cyberattack and data exfiltration if the equipment is used,''' according to Finite's report on Huawei published Wednesday.
"The Chinese National Intelligence Law of 2016 requires all companies 'to support, provide assistance, and cooperate in national intelligence work,'" the report stated. "Even if Huawei may be technically correct in saying that Chinese law doesn't explicitly 'compel' the installation of backdoors, China's intelligence and counterespionage activities tend to be so expansive that these provisions could be used to justify activities extending well beyond China's borders." The report notes that Huawei dominates the global market for next-generation 5G telecommunications infrastructure. The concern is that all data passing through mobile devices, smart homes and other internet-connected devices will become cyberattack vectors if Huawei equipment is used in 5G networks.
Finite reviewed more than 1.5 million files embedded in 9,936 firmware images supporting 558 Huawei enterprise networking products. The review found hard-coded backdoor credentials, unsafe use of cryptographic keys, indicators of insecure software development practices, and the presence of known and zero-day vulnerabilities. A zero-day vulnerability is a hole in software that can be used for cyberattacks. "The results of the analysis show that Huawei devices quantitatively pose a high risk to their users," the report said. "In virtually all categories we studied, we found Huawei devices to be less secure than comparable devices from other vendors." Hundreds of cases of back doors were discovered.
One of the ways Huawei set up backdoor remote access is to code firmware of its products with a default username and password that can permit remote access unless changed by computer administrators. In other instances, a specific password was coded into the firmware that would provide easy backdoor access. A third method used a special encryption key coded into the software that would allow remote access to the key holder. The Dutch AIVD intelligence service reported in May that Huawei equipment used by a Dutch telecommunications carrier contained back doors. In January, the African Union reported that Huawei equipment at its headquarters was sending confidential information to China. Vodafone, a large European phone company, also has identified hidden back doors in software inside Huawei products that could provide unauthorized access to networks in Italy.
Huawei and founder Ren Zhengfei, a People's Liberation Army veteran, deny the company engages in intelligence-gathering for the Chinese government and insist the company's products are secure. However, the Finite investigation is the first public security assessment of Huawei products. Huawei is facing federal charges related to economic espionage of American cellphone technology and illegal financial dealings with Iran. Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou is facing extradition from Canada on charges of violating international sanctions on trading with Iran. The U.S. government, however, has stopped short of revealing all it knows about the danger of using Huawei equipment. The government has banned use of its products, however.
Michael Wessel, a member of the congressional U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, praised the report. "For years, Huawei has essentially dared the international community to identify the security vulnerabilities that have so often been alleged regarding the use of the company's products," Mr. Wessel said in a statement. "Finite State's report identifies a broad range of significant security vulnerabilities, a substantial portion of which could allow for remote access to their products. "Policymakers now have in their hands information that can be used to debate the advisability of utilizing Huawei products in our systems," he added. "Finite State's report removes the discussion from the limited purview of the intelligence and law enforcement communities and opens this up to public debate."

Report: Trump And Xi Agree To A Potential Trade Truce - With Conditions
The U.S. and China have agreed to a possible trade-war truce.
Talks between the two countries about a potential agreement, of which details and preconditions are already being laid out, are expected to resume at the G-20 summit this coming weekend, Politico reported Thursday.
A trade agreement between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping would stop the implementation of additional U.S. tariffs on $300 billion worth of Chinese imports and duties of up to 25% on remaining untaxed Chinese goods.
Xi is expected to present to Trump with the precondition that the U.S. remove its ban on Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei Technologies before the summit, according to a Thursday report from The Wall Street Journal.
Trump signed an executive order to ban Huawei sales in May citing national security reasons after the U.S. Department of Justice charged the company for bank fraud, wire fraud and violating Iran sanctions, which Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei said would cost the company $30 billion in revenue.
"The reality, though, is President Trump could always have a change of heart," one source told Politco. "But the truce cake seems to have been baked."
An administration official told ABC News Thursday that Trump is "quite comfortable with any outcome ... So it's really just, you know, an opportunity for the president to maintain his engagement, as he has, very closely with his Chinese counterpart. Even as trade frictions persist, he's got the opportunity to see where the Chinese side is since the talks last left off."
Trump told CNBC on June 10 that "China is going to make a deal because they are going to have to make a deal," adding that he and the Chinese president have a "great relationship."

Huawei says U.S. ban hurting more than expected, to wipe $30 billion off revenue
HONG KONG (Reuters) - China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd has taken a harder-than-expected hit from a U.S. ban, the company's founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei said, and slashed revenue expectations for the year.
Ren's downbeat assessment that the ban will hit revenue by $30 billion, the first time Huawei has quantified the impact of the U.S. action, comes as a surprise after weeks of defiant comments from company executives who maintained Huawei was technologically self-sufficient.
The United States has put Huawei on an export blacklist citing national security issues, barring U.S. suppliers from selling to the world's largest telecommunications equipment maker and No.2 maker of smartphones, without special approval.
The firm has denied its products pose a security threat.
The ban has forced companies, including Alphabet Inc's Google and British chip designer ARM to limit or cease their relationships with the Chinese company.
Huawei had not expected that U.S. determination to "crack" the company would be "so strong and so pervasive", Ren said, speaking at the company's Shenzhen headquarters on Monday.
Two U.S. tech experts, George Gilder and Nicholas Negroponte, also joined the session.
"We did not expect they would attack us on so many aspects," Ren said, adding he expects a revival in business in 2021.

Negroponte, founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab, said the U.S. ban was a mistake.
STFU sellout, you had a big hand in selling out the internet so go crawl back into your academic hole.
"Our president has already said publicly that he would reconsider Huawei if we can make a trade deal. So clearly that is not about national security," he said.
"It is about something else," Negroponte added.
Huawei's smartphone sales have, however, been hit by the uncertainty. Ren said the firm's international smartphone shipments plunged 40%. While he did not give the time period, a spokesman clarified the CEO was referring to the past month.
Bloomberg reported on Sunday that Huawei was preparing for a 40-60% drop in international smartphone shipments.
The CEO, however, said Huawei will not cut research and development spending despite the expected hit from the ban to the company's finances and would not have large-scale layoffs.

The deals gave Facebook an early foothold in the mobile market starting in 2007, before stand-alone Facebook apps worked well on phones, and allowed device makers to offer some Facebook features, such as address books, "like" buttons and status updates.
Facebook officials said the agreements with the Chinese companies allowed them access similar to what was offered to BlackBerry, which could retrieve detailed information on both device users and all of their friends - including work and education history, relationship status and likes.
Facebook officials said that the data shared with Huawei stayed on its phone, not the company's servers.
Senator Mark Warner of Virginia pointed out that concerns about Huawei were not new, citing a 2012 House Intelligence Committee report on the " close relationships between the Chinese Communist Party and equipment makers like Huawei."
"I look forward to learning more about how Facebook ensured that information about their users was not sent to Chinese servers," Mr. Warner said.
"All Facebook's integrations with Huawei, Lenovo, Oppo and TCL were controlled from the get-go - and Facebook approved everything that was built," said Francisco Varela, a Facebook vice president. "Given the interest from Congress, we wanted to make clear that all the information from these integrations with Huawei was stored on the device, not on Huawei's servers."
Huawei did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The company was the recipient of billions of dollars in lines of credit from China's massive state-owned policy banks, helping to fuel its overseas expansion in Africa, Europe and Latin America. Its founder, Ren Zhengfei, is a former engineer in the People's Liberation Army.

More Trouble for Huawei: No More Facebook on New Phones
Just when it seemed that things couldn't get much worse for Huawei, it may soon not be able to sell phones with the world's most popular social networks. Facebook will reportedly no longer allow the Chinese telecom giant to preinstall Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram apps on its phones.
According to Reuters, if you already have a Huawei phone you should be able to continue receiving updates to Facebook-owned apps. The change will only affect new phones. Facebook and Huawei did not respond to requests for comment.
Facebook's decision is the latest fallout from the US government's decision last month to add Huawei to a list of companies that, due to national security concerns, must get permission to buy US-made technology, including software. US companies are now refusing to sell microchips and other components to Huawei. Google has revoked licenses for Huawei to install its software, such as the Google Play app store and Gmail, on its phones.
Huawei, the second largest maker of smartphones worldwide according to IDC, is still allowed to use the freely available, open source version of the Android operating system on its new phones. Users of those phones should still be able to access Facebook through the web and install WhatsApp by downloading the app directly from the WhatsApp website. Installers for other apps, such as Facebook Messenger and Instagram, are also available from third parties on the web. But without official support from companies like Google and Facebook, it's possible that some apps might not work as expected.
In China, where Facebook and Google are banned and alternatives like the search engine Baidu and the messaging app WeChat dominate, that might not be a big deal. But for users in other countries, such as Europe, the lack of popular US-owned applications could make Huawei phones less attractive.
The US has long worried that Huawei could use its telecom equipment to spy for the Chinese government. Huawei denies that it has ever, or would ever, spy on its customers and is suing the US government over a law banning government agencies from doing business with companies that use technology from Huawei and ZTE. Huawei has also argued that Chinese law does not require it to spy for the Chinese government, though legal scholars aRen't convinced by the company's logic.
Some non-US companies, including UK chipmaker Arm, are cutting ties with Huawei because some of their technology is developed in the US. Analysts say the company has stockpiles of chips, and Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei said in a media statement last month that it will be able to make its own chips to replace those of US chipmakers. Indeed, the US sanctions give Chinese companies all the more reason to stop relying on foreign-made technologies. But it could take years for Huawei and other Chinese companies to divorce themselves from US suppliers.

Embattled Huawei to Exit Undersea Cable Business After Trump Ban
Huawei Technologies Co. is selling its majority slice of its global submarine cable division, exiting the business of laying undersea piping for the internet just weeks after the Trump administration blocked it from buying American technology.
Huawei's corporate paRent is selling its 51% of Huawei Marine Networks to Hengtong Optic-Electric Co., a Jiangsu-based optical-cable manufacturer, according to a stock exchange filing. The deal isn't formalized and subject to change, Hengtong said in the filing. The Chinese company, whose Shanghai-listed shares have been suspended from trade, didn't disclose the size of the deal.
A Huawei spokesman declined to comment. Huawei Marine and Hengtong didn't immediately reply to calls and emails from Bloomberg News.
President Donald Trump's administration has targeted Huawei for months, first encouraging allies to ban the Chinese company's equipment from their networks and then putting Huawei on an export blacklist that prohibits it from buying American software and components. Founder Ren Zhengfei talked about the possibility of a strategic retreat – for instance by shrinking in scale – after the Commerce Department blacklisted Huawei and 67 of its affiliates across the world in May.
Huawei Marine, a joint venture between Huawei and British undersea cable firm Global Marine Systems, has drawn scrutiny because of its role in building fundamental internet-connection infrastructure. The U.S. and Australia in particular are said to be concerned about information security, arguing Beijing can take advantage of projects built by Huawei to conduct espionage. Huawei has repeatedly denied such allegations.
Huawei Marine plays a key role in Ren's ambitions. It's involved in building about 90 undersea cable projects from the Pacific to the Atlantic, laying over 50,000 kilometers of undersea cables, according to an introduction on the company's website. It also built multiple cable routes from England to the vicinity of Cape Town, South Africa. Other high-profile projects include a cross-Atlantic route that would link Brazil and Cameroon.
Yet the submarine unit is a relatively small business for Huawei, which generates annual sales bigger than Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd. combined. Huawei Marine contributed a net profit of 115 million yuan ($17 million) for its holding company in 2018, according to Huawei's annual report.

Huawei will not bow to US pressure: founder
Chinese telecoms giant Huawei is ready to deal with Washington's crackdown and will reduce its reliance on US components, its founder told Japanese media.
President Donald Trump effectively barred Huawei from the US market on Wednesday and added it to a list which would restrict US sales to the firm amid an escalating trade war with Beijing.
"We have already been preparing for this," Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei told a group of Japanese journalists Saturday in his first interview since Trump's move.
Ren said Huawei would continue to develop its own components to reduce its dependence on outside suppliers.
Huawei is a rapidly expanding leader in 5G technology but remains dependent on foreign suppliers.
It buys about $67 billion worth of components each year, including about $11 billion from US suppliers, according to The Nikkei business daily.
The usually elusive Ren, 74, has come out of the shadows in recent months in the face of increasing pressure on his company.

It buys about $67 billion worth of components each year, including about $11 billion from US suppliers, according to The Nikkei business daily.
The usually elusive Ren, 74, has come out of the shadows in recent months in the face of increasing pressure on his company. Ren's army background and Huawei's opaque culture have fuelled suspicions in some countries that the firm has links with the Chinese military and intelligence services. Huawei is also the target of an intense campaign by Washington, which has been trying to persuade allies not to allow China a role in building next-generation 5G mobile networks. US government agencies are already banned from buying equipment from Huawei. "We have not done anything which violates the law," Ren said, adding the US measures would have a limited impact. "It is expected that Huawei's growth may slow, but only slightly," he said, according The Nikkei. A former army technician, Ren founded Huawei in 1987 with only $5,000, according to company lore.
Huawei now claims to have nearly 190,000 employees, operates in 170 countries, and reported revenue of more than $100 billion in 2018. Ren said his company would not yield to pressure from Washington. "We will not change our management at the request of the US or accept monitoring, as ZTE has done," he said, as quoted by The Nikkei, referring to fellow Chinese telecoms giant ZTE which was also targeted by Washington. ZTE came close to collapse last year after US firms were banned from selling it vital components over its continued dealings with Iran and North Korea. Trump later reversed the decision and in return ZTE had to pay a $1 billion fine and accept monitoring by the US Commerce Department.

U.S. firm accuses Huawei of enlisting professor to obtain its tech
(Reuters) - A U.S. startup company is accusing Chinese telecommunications gear provider Huawei of enlisting a Chinese university professor working on a research project to improperly access the startup's technology, according to court documents filed last week.
California-based CNEX is developing technology to enhance the performance of solid-state drives in data centers and has been in a dispute with Huawei Technologies Co Ltd since 2017. In a new set of counterclaims filed in federal court in Texas last week, CNEX alleged that Bo Mao, a professor at Xiamen University, asked for one of the company's circuit boards as part of a research project.
The company alleges that it required Mao to sign a "strict non-disclosure obligation" about the circuit board. But CNEX alleged that, unbeknownst to it, the university was working with Huawei and alleged that after it sent the circuit board to the professor, technical details about its products ended up in Huawei's hands.
"Huawei took CNEX's proprietary and trade secret information and shared it with the personnel developing Huawei's (solid-state drive) controllers in violation of representations made to CNEX and restrictions placed on the distribution of CNEX's technical information," the startup said in the filing.
Neither Huawei nor Mao returned a request from Reuters for comment.
Huawei's gear has been largely shut out of the United States since 2012 over security concerns the technology could be used for espionage. The company has said the concerns are unfounded.
The company's CFO Meng Wanzhou, 47, the daughter of Huawei's billionaire founder, Ren Zhengfei, was arrested at Vancouver's airport in December on a U.S. warrant and is fighting extradition on charges that she conspired to defraud global banks about Huawei's relationship with a company operating in Iran.
CNEX's allegations last week are the latest in a trial dating to 2017. One of CNEX's co-founders, Ronnie Huang, had worked for a Huawei subsidiary in Texas but left in 2013 and later helped found CNEX.

'Huawei CFO to seek extradition stay citing Trump comments'
VANCOUVER/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Huawei's chief financial officer intends to seek a stay on extradition proceedings in part based on statements by President Donald Trump about the case, which her lawyers say disqualifies the United States from pursuing the matter in Canada. Meng Wanzhou, 47, the daughter of Huawei Technologies Co Ltd's billionaire founder Ren Zhengfei, was arrested at Vancouver's airport in December on a U.S. warrant and is fighting extradition on fraud charges that she misled global banks about Huawei's relationship with a company operating in Iran. Meng's defense lawyers said in a document that she has been unlawfully detained in Canada and that there is no evidence she misrepresented to a bank Huawei's relationship with a company operating in Iran called Skycom, thereby putting the bank at risk of violating U.S. sanctions law, or that the bank relied on her statements. The bank has been identified as HSBC. HSBC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Huawei has previously said Skycom was a local business partner in Iran, while the United States maintains it was an unofficial subsidiary used to conceal Huawei's Iran business. Meng defense lawyer Scott Fenton told the court that during her three-hour detention in December, Meng's rights "were placed in total suspension." The lawyers also claim Meng cannot be extradited because Canada should not extradite a person to face punishment for conduct that is not criminal in Canada. The bank and wire fraud charges do not meet that criteria because Meng is accused of encouraging HSBC to engage in transactions that violate U.S. sanctions laws. But there would be no risk of fines or forfeiture for any bank in Canada. "Put another way, the alleged offense could only exist in a country that prohibits international financial transactions in relation to Iran," the lawyers said in court documents. "Canada is no longer such a country." Meng will next appear in court on Sept. 23, when her defense will make more applications for more disclosure. No date has been yet set for an extradition hearing, a process that could take years. Her case has attracted global attention and sparked a diplomatic crisis between Beijing and Ottawa. China has repeatedly demanded Meng's release.
Huawei said in a statement on Wednesday that the criminal case against Meng is based on allegations that are simply not true, adding that the U.S.-ordered arrest was "guided by political considerations and tactics, not by the rule of law." Huawei and Skycom are also defendants in the U.S. case, accused of bank and wire fraud, as well as violating U.S. sanctions on Iran. Meng lawyers said comments by Trump, who told Reuters the charges against Meng could be dropped if that would help China trade talks, disqualify the United States from pursuing the case further in Canadian courts. Justice Holmes granted Meng's request to move to a larger second mansion she owns in Vancouver, for security reasons. The relocation is sure to deepen the anger of some Canadians at the diffeRence between her lifestyle and how two Canadians are being held in a Chinese detention center, said Paul Evans, a professor at the University of British Columbia's School of Public Policy and Global Affairs.
In recent weeks, China has upped the pressure on Canada and halted Canadian canola imports and suspended the permits of two major pork producers. Meanwhile, a second Huawei Canada executive has left the company, Reuters reported on Tuesday. Meng was released from jail in December on C$10 million ($7.5 million) bail and must wear a GPS tracker, an ankle bracelet and pay for security guards. She has been living in a Vancouver home valued at C$5.6 million in 2017. She arrived at court, wearing an elegant full-length black and gray weave-pattern dress, with the ankle monitor prominently visible.

China sentences Canadian to death for drug offences
BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese court sentenced a Canadian national to death on Tuesday for producing and trafficking methamphetamine, amid heightened tension between Beijing and Ottawa over the arrest of a Huawei Technologies executive.
Canadian Fan Wei was a leader in the production and trafficking scheme, the Jiangmen Intermediate People's Court said in a statement.
Another suspect, Wu Ziping, was also sentenced to death but Wu's nationality was not given. The court also did not specify the gender of either Fan or Wu.
The court also issued judgments against nine other people, including one American and four Mexicans.
It did not specify what sentences five of the nine received though it indicated the minimum they got was life in prison. It said the other four had been jailed, though it did not say for how long.
Court officials could not be reached for comment.
All 11 can appeal their sentences.
Fan is the second Canadian to be sentenced to death for drugs in China this year, during a period of escalating tension between the two countries.
In December, Canadian police arrested Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou, daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, at the request of U.S. prosecutors.
U.S. prosecutors have portrayed the company as a threat to national security and alleged that it conspired to violate U.S. sanctions. Both Meng, who is out on bail, and Huawei deny the allegations.
China has also recently arrested two Canadians on national security grounds.
China has also canceled Canadian agribusiness Richardson International Ltd's registration to ship canola to China this year.

Abe, Trudeau to seek rule of law in resolving dispute over Huawei
OTTAWA (Kyodo) – Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe agreed Sunday with Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau to seek the rule of law in resolving international issues, including China's arrest of two Canadian citizens.
Beijing has detained the pair since December on allegations of harming national security.
Their detention followed Canada's arrest of Meng Wanzhou – chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies Co. – at the request of the United States, which has accused her of helping the company evade U.S. sanctions on Iran.
During a meeting in the Canadian capital, Trudeau voiced his concern to Abe. The two agreed to request China play a constructive role in the international community, Japanese officials said.
Abe visited Ottawa before Japan hosts a Group of 20 summit in Osaka, in June, at which Trudeau is likely to join other leaders – including Chinese President Xi Jinping – to discuss issues ranging from free trade for economic growth, to empowering women and tackling marine plastic debris.
Huawei, a leader in next-generation 5G mobile communications networks, this year filed a lawsuit with a federal district court in Texas, against the U.S. government.
The arrest of Meng, daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, came as Washington was pressing allies, including Japan, to exclude the company from government contracts due to fears its products may facilitate spying and disrupt communication networks.
On global trade, Abe told a press confeRence after the meeting, "It is essential to reform (the World Trade Organization) to ensure it works to settle disputes."
On Friday, Japan denounced a recent WTO ruling that supported a South Korean ban on imports of some Japanese fishery products in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster. Tokyo said the ruling was not based on scientific evidence.
Other WTO members, Abe said, have also raised questions about the ruling.
Abe and Trudeau also agreed to maintain U.N. sanctions against North Korea to achieve Pyongyang's denuclearization, said the Japanese officials.
Trudeau expressed his support for Abe's efforts to address the issue of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s.

U.S. intelligence says Huawei funded by Chinese state security: report
(Reuters) - U.S. intelligence has accused Huawei Technologies of being funded by Chinese state security, The Times said on Saturday, adding to the list of allegations faced by the Chinese technology company in the West.
The CIA accused Huawei of receiving funding from China's National Security Commission, the People's Liberation Army and a third branch of the Chinese state intelligence network, the British newspaper reported, citing a source.
Earlier this year, U.S. intelligence shared its claims with other members of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing group, which includes Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, according to the report.
Huawei dismissed the allegations in a statement cited by the newspaper.
"Huawei does not comment on unsubstantiated allegations backed up by zero evidence from anonymous sources," a Huawei representative told The Times.
The company, the CIA and Chinese state security agencies did not respond immediately to requests for comment.
The accusation comes at a time of trade tensions between Washington and Beijing and amid concerns in the United States that Huawei's equipment could be used for espionage. The company has said the concerns are unfounded.
Authorities in the United States are probing Huawei for alleged sanctions violations.
Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer and daughter of its founder, Ren Zhengfei, was arrested in Canada in December at the request of the United States on charges of bank and wire fraud in violation of U.S. sanctions against Iran.
She denies wrongdoing and her father has previously said the arrest was "politically motivated".
Amid such charges, top educational institutions in the West have recently severed ties with Huawei to avoid losing federal funding.
Another Chinese technology company, ZTE Corp, has also been at the center of similar controversies in the United States.
U.S. sanctions forced ZTE to stop most business between April and July last year after Commerce Department officials said it broke a pact and was caught illegally shipping U.S.-origin goods to Iran and North Korea. The sanctions were lifted after ZTE paid $1.4 billion in penalties.
Reuters reported earlier this week that the United States will push its allies at a meeting in Prague next month to adopt shared security and policy measures that will make it more difficult for Huawei to dominate 5G telecommunications networks.

Huawei CEO Compares 5G To "Nuclear Bomb", Warns US Against Tech Cold War
Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei has lashed out at the United States and specifically President Trump in interviews with Germany's Wirtschaftswoche and Handelsblatt newspapers at a key moment that Germany is mulling whether to allow the Chinese company's ultra-high speed 5G internet technology under a proposed "no spy agreement".
Zhengfei likened Trump's recent remarks delineating 5G as a threat that requires to US to stay "guarded from the enemy, and we do have enemies out there" as full of exaggerated fears akin to a "nuclear bomb". Zhengfei said in an interview that "Unfortunately, the US sees 5G technology as a strategic weapon," and added, "For them it is a kind of nuclear bomb."
CurRently, the US, Australia, New Zealand, and even Japan have issued blanket bans on the Chinese company's technology from being sold or implemented in their countries. And other so-called "Five Eyes" intelligence sharing countries the UK and Canada are reportedly strongly considering a ban.
Germany this week has indicated there are no plans in place to prevent the Chinese telecommunications giant from participating in building Germany's ultra-high speed 5G internet.

Huawei CEO says 5G tech is like 'nuclear bomb' for US, cautions against 'new Cold War'
Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei has blasted Donald Trump's fixation on 5G competition with China, likening the technology to a "nuclear bomb" for the US president. Zhengfei also promised to support a "no-spy agreement" with Germany.
"Unfortunately, the US sees 5G technology as a strategic weapon," Zhengfei said in an interview with German Wirtschaftswoche and Handelsblatt newspapers.
"For them it is a kind of nuclear bomb," he added.
Speaking to the German news outlets, the CEO said his company will not install surveillance 'backdoors' on its 5G equipment in the country. Berlin had been hesitant to allow Huawei to participate in its upcoming 5G rollout, citing security concerns, but the country's chief telecoms regulator said on Monday that no equipment suppliers "should or may" be excluded.
Meanwhile, Zhengfei said he would urge the Chinese government to sign a 'no-spy agreement' with Germany, and commit to abiding by the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Washington has put diplomatic pressure on Germany to shut Huawei out, after multiple US intelligence agencies warned that the company could be gathering information for Beijing. Zhengfei called these allegations "fairy tales," and demanded the US "provide facts and evidence to support their allegations."
President Trump for his part views the race to 5G as a strategic battle, telling reporters on Friday that the US "cannot allow any other country to out-compete the United States in this powerful industry of the future."

Huawei says not discussed 5G chipsets with Apple - chairman
Huawei Technologies, one of the world's biggest smartphone makers, has not had talks with Apple Inc about supplying it with 5G chipsets, Rotating Chairman Ken Hu said on Tuesday.
Hu made the remark at the company's annual global analyst summit at its headquarters in Shenzhen in southern China. His comment come after founder Ren Zhengfei told CNBC that Huawei was "open" to selling its fifth generation (5G) chips to Apple.
"We have not had discussions with Apple on this issue," Hu said, reiterating that Huawei does not plan to become a chipset vendor at this time. He also said he looked forward to Apple's competition in the 5G phone market.
Hu said Huawei had secured 40 commercial contracts to build 5G telecommunications infrastructure as at the end of March, up from a previously disclosed tally of more than 30.
Huawei's outlook has come under a cloud over the past year with the United States voicing concerns that its equipment could be used by the Chinese government for espionage. Washington has also urged allies to ban Huawei from building 5G mobile networks.
Huawei has dismissed the security concerns as unfounded.
Huawei is also the world's largest telecommunications equipment maker. Its inhouse semiconductor arm, HiSilicon, also designs chipsets that are used in its products.
Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei said in an interview with CNBC this week that the company is "open to" selling its 5G modem chips to Apple, without elaborating.
His comments came after repeated denials from Huawei that it had any intention of becoming a chip vendor to compete against the likes of Qualcomm and Intel.
Huawei in January launched its 5G modem Balong 5000, which it said is the industry's most powerful, as well as a 5G base station chipset dubbed Tiangang.
The company last month reported a 25 percent rise in net profit in 2018 to 59.3 billion yuan ($9 billion), even as revenue from its network equipment business fell 1.3 percent to 294 billion yuan due to telecommunications industry investment cycles.

–The US will stop sharing intelligence with countries that use Huawei hardware in their core communication systems, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said.
–The threat: "If a country adopts this [Huawei equipment] and puts it in some of their critical information systems, we won't be able to share information with them, we won't be able to work alongside them," Pompeo said during an interview with Fox Business on Thursday. "In some cases there's risk-we won't even be able to co-locate American resources, an American embassy, an American military outpost," he added.
–Defiance: Britain, New Zealand, and Germany all signaled this week that they may be willing to continue using Huawei gear as they prepare their infrastructure for the arrival of 5G. Pompeo's remarks are a major escalation in tensions between the US and its allies over the role of Huawei.
–American concerns: It's got a lot to do with the role of 5G and whether China could use security back doors to exert undue control over a nation's digital infrastructure via Huawei's equipment. Confusingly, on the same day as Pompeo's comments, President Donald Trump tweeted that he wanted the US to win in 5G development "through competition, not by blocking out curRently more advanced technologies."
–Denials: In an interview with the BBC this week, Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei said the company has never installed back doors into its technology and never would do so, even if required to by Chinese law.

Exclusive: New documents link Huawei to suspected front companies in Iran, Syria
U.S. authorities allege CFO Meng Wanzhou deceived international banks into clearing transactions with Iran by claiming the two companies were independent of Huawei, when in fact Huawei controlled them. Huawei has maintained the two are independent: equipment seller Skycom Tech Co Ltd and shell company Canicula Holdings Ltd.
But corporate filings and other documents found by Reuters in Iran and Syria show that Huawei, the world's largest supplier of telecommunications network equipment, is more closely linked to both firms than previously known.
The documents reveal that a high-level Huawei executive appears to have been appointed Skycom's Iran manager. They also show that at least three Chinese-named individuals had signing rights for both Huawei and Skycom bank accounts in Iran. Reuters also discovered that a Middle Eastern lawyer said Huawei conducted operations in Syria through Canicula.
The previously unreported ties between Huawei and the two companies could bear on the U.S. case against Meng, who is the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, by further undermining Huawei's claims that Skycom was merely an arms-length business partner.
Huawei, U.S. authorities assert, retained control of Skycom, using it to sell telecom equipment to Iran and move money out via the international banking system. As a result of the deception, U.S. authorities say, banks unwittingly cleared hundreds of millions of dollars of transactions that potentially violated economic sanctions Washington had in place at the time against doing business with Iran.

Huawei founder says Huawei CFO arrest was politically motivated: BBC
3 MIN READ
(Reuters) - Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei said on Monday that the arrest of his daughter, Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou, was politically motivated.
"Firstly, I object to what the U.S. has done. This kind of politically motivated act is not acceptable," Ren told the BBC in an interview.
Canada arrested Meng on Dec. 1 at the request of the United States. Meng was charged with bank and wire fraud to violate American sanctions against Iran.
The U.S. Justice Department denied the charges were politically motivated. "The Justice Department's criminal case against Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou is based solely on the evidence and the law. The Department pursues cases free of any political interfeRence and follows the evidence and rule of law in pursuing criminal charges," spokeswoman Nicole Navas said in an email to Reuters.
Huawei, along with another Chinese network equipment company, ZTE Corp, has been accused by the United States of working at the behest of the Chinese government. The United States has said their equipment could be used to spy on Americans. Huawei has repeatedly denied the claims.
Commenting on the spying concerns, the Huawei founder reiterated that the company will "never undertake" any spying activities.
Huawei, the world's biggest producer of telecoms equipment, faces intense scrutiny in the West over its relationship with the Chinese government and allegations of enabling state espionage, with the United States calling for its allies not to use its technology.
Ren said the company could downsize to weather such attempts by the United States.
"The world cannot leave us because we are more advanced. Even if they (U.S.) persuade more countries not to use us temporarily, we can always scale things down a bit", he added.
In comments on a potential ban in the UK, Ren said it would not make the company withdraw its UK investments, adding that it will shift its investments to the UK from the United States if U.S. actions against Huawei continue.

"We will invest even more in the UK. Because if the U.S. doesn't trust us, then we will shift our investment from the U.S. to the UK on an even bigger scale," Ken told the BBC.
Reuters reported earlier on Monday that British security officials do not support a full ban of Huawei from national telecoms networks despite U.S. allegations against the Chinese firm.

Dick Morris: How The Clintons Made Money From Huawei
Authored by Dick Morris, op-ed via WesternJournal.com,
When Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies, was arrested in Canada on Dec. 1 through an extradition warrant from the United States, American media described in detail how the company had appaRently conspired to evade U.S. sanctions on Iran.
Huawei has long been involved in helping terrorist states and seemingly seeking to thwart U.S. sanctions. Meng is the daughter of Huawei's founder, Ren Zhengfei.
As details of Huawei's complicity with Iran emerge, it is time to look back on the Clinton family and its close relationship with Huawei. When their connection was first exposed more than a decade ago, it just seemed like another shady Clinton deal. But now, it becomes clear that Huawei has been central to the Iranian efforts to evade first U.N. and then U.S. sanctions.
The Clintons were appaRently conspiring with the enemy.
Huawei has long been a bad actor in undermining U.S. foreign policy. The company has had a deep and long term relationship with the Clinton family.
Huawei and the Clintons' ties began when Terry McAuliffe, the Clintons' top fundraiser and future governor of Virginia, bought a Chinese car company - GreenTech Automotive - and moved it to the U.S. in the hopes that it would produce electric cars.
McAuliffe got Huawei to invest in GreenTech through a financing firm called Gulf Coast Funds Management, headed by Hillary's brother, Tony Rodham. Gulf Coast, boasting the Rodham name, agreed to help Huawei get visas for its top executives under the EB-5 program, which awards visas to those who invest at least $500,000 in the U.S. to create jobs.
The feds had already turned Huawei down because of its links to the Chinese military.
Huawei's misdeeds are plentiful.
It helped Saddam Hussein install fiber optic cables in violation of U.S. sanctions.
It also helped the Taliban by installing a phone system in Kabul, Afghanistan.
It stole proprietary material from U.S. high-tech company Cisco Systems. This material ended up in Chinese hands.
In 2013, Huawei tried to sell telecom equipment made by Hewlett-Packard to Iran in defiance of sanctions. And, until a few weeks ago, the paRent company of Huawei's Iranian business partner was partly owned by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is playing the key role in Iran's nuclear program.
According to the South China Morning Post, the U.S. action against Huawei "will severely damage, even cripple, the Chinese company. Of Huawei's 92 core suppliers, 33 are U.S. corporations, including chip makers Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Marvell and Micron. If Washington now prohibits these companies from selling to Huawei, the Chinese telecoms giant will struggle to survive."
And, if their full role in the liaison with Huawei comes out, so will Bill and Hillary.

Huawei has long been involved in helping terrorist states and seemingly seeking to thwart U.S. sanctions. Meng is the daughter of Huawei's founder, Ren Zhengfei.
As details of Huawei's complicity with Iran emerge, it is time to look back on the Clinton family and its close relationship with Huawei. When their connection was first exposed more than a decade ago, it just seemed like another shady Clinton deal. But now, it becomes clear that Huawei has been central to the Iranian efforts to evade first U.N. and then U.S. sanctions.
Huawei has long been a bad actor in undermining U.S. foreign policy. The company has had a deep and long term relationship with the Clinton family.
Huawei and the Clintons' ties began when Terry McAuliffe, the Clintons' top fundraiser and future governor of Virginia, bought a Chinese car company - GreenTech Automotive - and moved it to the U.S. in the hopes that it would produce electric cars.
McAuliffe got Huawei to invest in GreenTech through a financing firm called Gulf Coast Funds Management, headed by Hillary's brother, Tony Rodham. Gulf Coast, boasting the Rodham name, agreed to help Huawei get visas for its top executives under the EB-5 program, which awards visas to those who invest at least $500,000 in the U.S. to create jobs.
The feds had already turned Huawei down because of its links to the Chinese military.
Huawei's misdeeds are plentiful.
It helped Saddam Hussein install fiber optic cables in violation of U.S. sanctions.
It also helped the Taliban by installing a phone system in Kabul, Afghanistan.
It stole proprietary material from U.S. high-tech company Cisco Systems. This material ended up in Chinese hands.
In 2013, Huawei tried to sell telecom equipment made by Hewlett-Packard to Iran in defiance of sanctions. And, until a few weeks ago, the paRent company of Huawei's Iranian business partner was partly owned by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is playing the key role in Iran's nuclear program.
According to the South China Morning Post, the U.S. action against Huawei "will severely damage, even cripple, the Chinese company. Of Huawei's 92 core suppliers, 33 are U.S. corporations, including chip makers Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Marvell and Micron. If Washington now prohibits these companies from selling to Huawei, the Chinese telecoms giant will struggle to survive."
And, if their full role in the liaison with Huawei comes out, so will Bill and Hillary.

The letter's timing coincides with a trip by Joe Biden, US vice-president, to Japan, China and South Korea, a visit taking place in the shadow of Beijing's announcement last week of an extension of Chinese-regulated air space.
Beijing's move, primarily aimed at chief regional rival Japan, also impinged on the so-called air defence identification zone of South Korea. Mr Biden is in China on Wednesday.
The letter from Senators Feinstein and Menendez expresses concerns about Huawei's selection to build a broadband network for a subsidiary of South Korea's LG Corporation.
"An essential feature of our alliance are the numerous steps our militaries and our intelligence agencies are taking together to advance training and information sharing," it says.
The Huawei deal, the letter goes on, "raises serious questions and potential security concerns" and asks its recipients to assess any possible threat.
In recent years, US lawmakers have objected to Huawei's acquisition of patents from 3 Leaf, a small US company, and forced Japan's SoftBank to limit the use of the Chinese company's technology as a condition for buying a US carrier.
But Washington's hardline could provoke a backlash against US companies offshore. Documents leaked by Mr Snowden revealed US intelligence has forced US telecommunications carriers to hand over phone records and also tried to infiltrate their systems to gain access to their private records.
"Hounding Huawei really sets a precedent that will eventually be used against US companies abroad," said Christopher Soghoian, principal technologist of the American Civil Liberties Union. "All the things that Huawei has been accused of, US companies do."
Huawei has long considered exiting the US market altogether because of the political barriers to doing business there.
In a rare interview with the western media this week, Ren Zhengfei, the Huawei founder and chief executive, said if the company got caught in the middle of US-China tensions, "it's not worth it".
He added: "Therefore, we have decided to exit the US market, and not stay in the middle," without elaborating.
Huawei is a private company and insists its close ties with China's ruling communist party do not affect its commercial decisions.
Both the UK and Australia, intelligence partners of the US, have restricted Huawei's business in their countries or subjected them to greater oversight.

China says U.S., Canada abused extradition agreement over Huawei executive Meng
BEIJING (Reuters) - China said on Tuesday that the United States and Canada had abused their extradition agreement in the case of arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, after Canada's ambassador to the United States said it would proceed with formal extradition.
Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying made the comments at a regular briefing and also reiterated China's call for Meng to be released. Any person with fair judgment would come to the conclusion that Canada was mistaken in its actions, Hua added. The United States will proceed with the formal extradition from Canada of Meng, the daughter of Huawei Technologies Co Ltd founder Ren Zhengfei, Canada's ambassador to the United States told the Globe and Mail newspaper in an interview published on Monday.

U.S. to formally seek extradition of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou: Globe and Mail
(Reuters) - The United States will proceed with the formal extradition from Canada of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, Canada's ambassador to the United States told the Globe and Mail, in a move certain to ratchet up tensions with China. David MacNaughton, in an interview with the Canadian newspaper published on Monday, said the U.S. has told Canada it will request Meng's extradition, but he did not say when the request will be made. The deadline for filing is Jan. 30, or 60 days after Meng was arrested on Dec. 1 in Vancouver. Meng, the daughter of Huawei Technologies Co Ltd founder Ren Zhengfei, was arrested at the request of the United States over alleged violations of U.S. sanctions on Iran. She was released on bail last month and is due in court in Vancouver on Feb. 6.
Relations between China and Canada turned frosty after the arrest, with China detaining two Canadian citizens and sentencing to death a Canadian man previously found guilty of drug smuggling. The Chinese firm, the world's biggest maker of telecommunications equipment, said it had no comment on ongoing legal proceedings when contacted by Reuters on Tuesday. A U.S. Justice Department spokesman said, "We will comment through our filings." The Canadian Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours.
Canada is one of over 100 countries with which the United States has extradition treaties. Once a formal request is received, a Canadian court must determine within 30 days if there is sufficient evidence to support extradition, and Canada's Minister of Justice must give a formal order. In an article published on Monday, a former Canadian spy chief said Canada should ban Huawei from supplying equipment for next-generation telecoms networks, while Canada's government is studying any security implications. Some of Canada's allies such as the United States and Australia have already imposed restrictions on using Huawei equipment, citing the risk of it being used for espionage.
Huawei has repeatedly said such concerns are unfounded, while China's ambassador to Canada last week said there would be repercussions if Ottawa blocked Huawei. In Monday's interview, MacNaughton said he had complained to the United States that Canada was suffering from Chinese revenge for an arrest made at the U.S.'s request. "We don't like that it is our citizens who are being punished," the Globe and Mail cited MacNaughton as saying. "(The Americans) are the ones seeking to have the full force of American law brought against (Ms. Meng) and yet we are the ones who are paying the price. Our citizens are." Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau previously said China was arbitrarily using the death penalty and called on world leaders to raise concerns about the detained Canadians.

China's Huawei in unprecedented media blitz as it battles heightened scrutiny
HONG KONG (Reuters) - China's Huawei has launched an unprecedented public relations blitz, thrusting its low-key founder in front of international media as the telecoms firm seeks to ease concern among Western nations bent on shutting it out of their markets. The move, along with significant personnel change in its 300-strong corporate affairs department, comes as the world's largest telecommunications equipment maker battles fear of Chinese authorities accessing its infrastructure for espionage.
In a 25-minute interview aired late on Sunday - his first with state-controlled China Central Television (CCTV) - Huawei Technologies Co Ltd [HWT.UL] Chief Executive Ren Zhengfei shrugged off the global push against his company, which has repeatedly denied any state links. "If you do (your product) well, there is no need to worry about sales… It would be stupid on their part if they don't buy," the 74-year-old said in a one-on-one, adding to three group interviews last week with English, Chinese and Japanese media outlets. "It would be their loss," Ren said, referring to the United States and other Western countries which have restricted Huawei in their markets. Before last week, Ren had had no more than 10 interviews across media since founding Huawei in 1987, CCTV said. He last met international media at Davos in 2015. "My public relations department forced me," a smiling Ren told CCTV when asked why he had opened up to the media. "I must make our clients understand us, make our 180,000 employees understand us, come together and get through this tough time."

Oxford University Suspends Research Funding from China's Huawei
LONDON-Oxford University says it is suspending research grants and funding donations from Huawei amid growing security concerns about the Chinese telecom giant. It's another setback for Huawei's image in Europe, an important market for the company, which has been effectively blocked in the U.S. over concerns its technology poses a cybersecurity risk. It's now facing increasing scrutiny in Europe, where it is expected it to play a major role in building new fifth-generation mobile networks. The university decided on Jan. 8 that "it will not pursue new funding opportunities" with Huawei or related companies, it said in a statement on Jan. 17. The decision, which applies to both funding of research contracts and philanthropic donations, was made "in the light of public concerns raised in recent months" surrounding the company's U.K. partnerships. Two existing research projects worth a combined 692,000 pounds ($895,000) will continue, it said. "We hope these matters can be resolved shortly and note Huawei's own willingness to reassure governments about its role and activities," the university said. Huawei said it was "not informed of this decision" and awaits the university's full explanation.
Britain's defense secretary and its intelligence chief both voiced concerns last month about Huawei's involvement in the country's rollout of 5G networks. Huawei's troubles are expanding elsewhere in Europe. The company fired its sales director in Poland last week after authorities there arrested him on charges of spying for China. The Czech Republic has warned against using Huawei equipment because of security fears and Norway is rethinking the company's role in its telecom networks.
Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei said in a rare interview that his company had never received a request from a government to transmit information in violation of any regulations. Ren, a former army engineer and curRent Communist Party member, said his company "would not answer to" requests from the Chinese regime to hand over information, the Wall Street Journal reported. Ren didn't provide details about how the company would resist requests from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). But under China's national security laws, all companies operating in the country are required to grant authorities control of its data if asked. The concept of national security is expansively defined to cover threats to the CCP's authoritarian control, including opinions critical of the Party. Huawei financial chief Meng Wanchou, who is Ren's daughter, is fighting a U.S. request that she be extradited from Canada on charges related to Iran sanctions violations.

Canada and the Exposure of China's 'High-Tech Nuclear Submarine'
TORONTO-In a push to make its brand a household name, Chinese telecom giant Huawei often taps into the favourite pastimes of the countries it's trying to expand in. In Canada, the company is a major sponsor of "Hockey Night in Canada," and in Poland, it has used soccer superstar and national team captain Robert Lewandowski to sell its brand. In both countries, however, Huawei has received a barrage of negative publicity in recent weeks, being at the centre of an escalating international spat between Canada and China, and linked to espionage in Poland. Last week, Polish authorities arrested a senior Huawei employee along with a Polish national on suspicion of espionage. Poland is now considering banning the use of Huawei's products and is calling for a joint EU and NATO position on the company. The Chinese regime reacted to the developments in Poland by expressing grave concerns and asking Poland to respect the Chinese national's rights. But in the case of Canada, where Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou was arrested on an extradition request from the United States, Beijing's reaction was to warn Canada of "grave consequences."
Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, captured by the Chinese regime shortly after Meng's arrest, are still in detention without legal representation. And this week, a Chinese court sentenced Canadian citizen Robert Schellenberg, previously sentenced to 15 years on drug smuggling charges, to death following highly unusual proceedings and wide state media coverage. On Jan. 16, news emerged that Ti-Anna Wang, a Canadian citizen whose father is a political prisoner in China, was briefly detained with her family and interrogated while transiting through the Beijing International Airport. Sheng Xue, a Chinese-born Canadian author, says the reason for Beijing's escalating reaction to Meng's arrest is that it exposes China's flagship company to scrutiny. "Huawei is the high-tech nuclear submarine of the tyrannical Chinese Communist Party. The arrest of Meng Wanzhou in Canada brings this submarine to the surface, so this makes the Chinese regime very frightened and angry," Sheng Xue said. Huawei is involved in a number of important initiatives for Beijing, Sheng Xue said, ranging from the Great Firewall used to censor the internet to "helping the Chinese Communist Party to have backdoors in mobile phones, computers, communication equipment, and 5G technology."
Canada is curRently evaluating whether to allow Huawei to be part of its 5G network, the next generation in internet technology. The majority of Canada's allies in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance have already rejected Huawei from their 5G networks. Jacob Kovalio, an associate professor at Carleton University's Department of History and an Asia researcher, says Beijing is worried that if Meng is extradited to the Untied States, she could "spill the beans" under interrogation, which could have very bad implications for the regime. "The crucial element here is that the last word on anything, including activities, investments of formally private companies, is not in the hands of [companies like] Huawei themselves," Kovalio said. "The last word on everything is that of the political supreme, the political leadership in Beijing, even in the case of a supposedly private company like Huawei." Huawei was founded by Ren Zhengfei, a former officer of the People's Liberation Army and the father of Meng. Meng was arrested in Vancouver on Dec. 1, charged by the United States with misrepresenting Huawei's relations with a Hong Kong-based company that did business with Iran, exposing banks to the risk of violating U.S. sanctions against Iran.

US Lawmakers Introduce Bipartisan Bills Targeting China's Huawei, ZTE
WASHINGTON-A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers introduced bills on Jan. 16 that would ban the sale of U.S. chips or other components to Huawei, ZTE, or other Chinese telecommunications companies that violate U.S. sanctions or export control laws.
Sen. Tom Cotton and Rep. Mike Gallagher, both Republicans, along with Sen. Chris Van Hollen and Rep. Ruben Gallego, both Democrats, introduced the measures, which would require the U.S. president to ban the export of U.S. components to any Chinese telecommunications company that violates U.S. sanctions or export control laws. The bills specifically cite ZTE and Huawei, both of which are viewed with suspicion in the United States because of fears that their switches and other gear could be used to spy on Americans. Both have also been accused of failing to respect U.S. sanctions on Iran.
Huawei is the world's biggest producer of telecommunications equipment. "Huawei is effectively an intelligence-gathering arm of the Chinese Communist Party whose founder and CEO was an engineer for the People's Liberation Army," Cotton wrote in a statement. "If Chinese telecom companies like Huawei violate our sanctions or export control laws, they should receive nothing less than the death penalty which this denial order would provide." Huawei's founder, Ren Zhengfei, denied this week that his company was used by the Chinese government to spy. Ren was a former Chinese army engineer and curRent Communist Party member. He and his company's close ties to the Chinese regime have led several Western governments to shut out Huawei equipment from their telecoms networks.
Canada detained Ren's daughter, Meng Wanzhou, who is Huawei's chief financial officer, in December at the request of U.S. authorities investigating Huawei's alleged scheme to use the global banking system to evade U.S. sanctions against Iran. She has been released on bail and is confined to her home in Vancouver. U.S. prosecutors allege that Meng committed fraud by telling banks in the United States that Huawei and Skycom, a Hong Kong-based company reportedly doing business with Iran, had no connections. In reality, Huawei effectively controlled Skycom, according to documents presented during bail hearings in Canadian court.
Her arrest prompted questions about Huawei's fate. Last year, Huawei's domestic competitor ZTE agreed to pay a $1 billion fine to the United States that was imposed because the company had breached a U.S. embargo on trade with Iran. As part of the agreement, U.S. authorities lifted a ban that was put in place in April 2018 that prevented ZTE from buying the U.S. components it heavily relies on to make smartphones and other devices. The ban was detrimental to ZTE's business; by May, ZTE announced that it had ceased its main business operations.

Huawei CEO Breaks Silence, Says Company Doesn't Spy for China
Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei, in a rare public appearance following the arrest of his daughter in Canada, said his company has never spied for the Chinese government, the Financial Times reported. "No law in China requires any company to install mandatory backdoors," Ren said, in his first public comments in years, during an interview with reporters in the Chinese city of Shenzhen on Jan. 15. "Huawei, and myself, have never received any request from any government to provide [improper] information." The normally reclusive Ren's public comments come as the Chinese telecoms giant battles several controversies. Meng Wenzhou, who is Ren's daughter and the chief financial officer of Huawei, is facing extradition to the United States, where prosecutors allege that she violated U.S. sanctions against Iran by misleading banks about the company's dealings in the Middle Eastern country.
Huawei has also been banned from several countries' markets due to security concerns, while an employee was arrested on spying allegations in Poland this past weekend, along with a former Polish security official. Ren, a former army engineer and curRent Communist Party member, said his company "would not answer to" requests from the Chinese regime to hand over information, the Wall Street Journal reported. Ren didn't provide details about how the company would resist requests from the government. But under China's national security laws, all companies operating in the country are required to grant authorities control of its data if asked. The concept of national security is expansively defined to cover threats to the Chinese Communist Party's authoritarian control, including opinions critical of the Party.
Huawei, the world's largest producer of telecommunications equipment, has been under heightened scrutiny in the West over its close relationship with the Chinese regime and allegations that its products could be used by Beijing for spying-an allegation it has denied.
The company has effectively been excluded from the U.S. market since a 2012 congressional report sounded the alarm that the company's products could pose a security threat. Last August, the United States banned government agencies from using or purchasing equipment from Huawei and its domestic competitor ZTE. President Donald Trump is considering an executive order that would also ban U.S. companies from doing so.
In a November report, The Australian news outlet cited secret Australian intelligence reports that confirmed Huawei had turned over passwords and access details to China's intelligence services to allow them access to a "foreign network," although not an Australian one, a source said. Last year, Australia and New Zealand banned Huawei from providing technology for their 5G networks, citing security risks. Japan also barred its government agencies from purchasing Huawei technology.
In the UK, the nation's largest telecommunications company BT said in December 2018 that it wouldn't use Huawei to develop its 5G network, and it would also remove Huawei gear from the core of its existing 4G and 3G networks. Canada is also curRently reviewing whether the company's equipment represents a national security risk. Most recently, Poland said Jan. 13 it may consider banning the use of Huawei products by public bodies, after the arrest of the Chinese Huawei official.

Senior Executive of Huawei Canada Leaves Post as Company Faces Increasing Scrutiny
TORONTO-A senior executive with Huawei Canada is leaving his post after working for more than seven years for the Chinese telecom giant, which is facing increasing scrutiny over its close ties to Beijing. Scott Bradley, who was Huawei Canada's senior vice president for corporate affairs, indicated in a LinkedIn post that he no longer holds that position. He could not be immediately reached for comments.
Huawei, founded by Ren Zhengfei-a former officer at China's People's Liberation Army-has been cited as a security risk in intelligence circles due to having close ties to the Chinese communist regime. Western intelligence officials have raised concerns Beijing could use the company's equipment for espionage. The company is also at the center of a diplomatic spat between China and Canada as its chief financial officer and Ren's daughter, Meng Wanzhou, was arrested in Canada on an extradition request from the United States. Following Meng's arrest, China warned Canada of "grave consequences," and has since detained two Canadians on charges of endangering national security. In a previous interview with The Epoch Times, Bradley denied that Huawei is connected to the Chinese regime.
Huawei Espionage Concerns On Jan. 11, Reuters reported Polish officials had arrested a Huawei employee and former Polish security official on spying allegations. Last year, The Australian newspaper reported officials in the land 'Down Under' had received reports about Chinese spies using Huawei to infiltrate a "foreign network." Most of Canada's allies in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance have banned the Chinese telco from their emerging 5G networks, the next evolution in wireless internet technology.
Key Advisory Role Bradley served as a key spokesperson for Huawei Canada, which is a major supplier for Canada's major telecom companies. Going forward, he will serve as special adviser to the company, assisting "as required," Huawei Canada President Eric Li said in a memo to staff obtained by Reuters. "We are saddened to see him leave but grateful for the tireless work he has put in to help us grow our brand and public image, and build various relationships with government," Li Bradley ran as a federal Liberal candidate for Ottawa Centre in 2011 general election but was defeated. said.

LONDON/HONG KONG (Reuters) - The U.S. case against the chief financial officer of China's Huawei Technologies, who was arrested in Canada last month, centers on the company's suspected ties to two obscure companies. One is a telecom equipment seller that operated in Tehran; the other is that firm's owner, a holding company registered in Mauritius. U.S. authorities allege CFO Meng Wanzhou deceived international banks into clearing transactions with Iran by claiming the two companies were independent of Huawei, when in fact Huawei controlled them. Huawei has maintained the two are independent: equipment seller Skycom Tech Co Ltd and shell company Canicula Holdings Ltd. But corporate filings and other documents found by Reuters in Iran and Syria show that Huawei, the world's largest supplier of telecommunications network equipment, is more closely linked to both firms than previously known.
The documents reveal that a high-level Huawei executive appears to have been appointed Skycom's Iran manager. They also show that at least three Chinese-named individuals had signing rights for both Huawei and Skycom bank accounts in Iran. Reuters also discovered that a Middle Eastern lawyer said Huawei conducted operations in Syria through Canicula. The previously unreported ties between Huawei and the two companies could bear on the U.S. case against Meng, who is the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, by further undermining Huawei's claims that Skycom was merely an arms-length business partner.
Huawei, U.S. authorities assert, retained control of Skycom, using it to sell telecom equipment to Iran and move money out via the international banking system. As a result of the deception, U.S. authorities say, banks unwittingly cleared hundreds of millions of dollars of transactions that potentially violated economic sanctions Washington had in place at the time against doing business with Iran. Meng did not respond to a request for comment by Reuters, and Huawei declined to answer questions for this story. Canicula's offices could not be reached. A Justice Department spokesman in Washington declined to comment.
Meng was released on C$10 million ($7.5 million) bail on Dec. 11 and remains in Vancouver while Washington tries to extradite her. In the United States, Meng would face charges in connection with an alleged conspiracy to defraud multiple financial institutions, with a maximum sentence of 30 years for each charge. The exact charges have not been made public. Huawei said last month it has been given little information about the U.S. allegations "and is not aware of any wrongdoing by Ms. Meng." The company has described its relationship with Skycom as "a normal business partnership." It has said it has fully complied with all laws and regulations and required Skycom to do the same. Meng's arrest on a U.S. warrant has caused an uproar in China. It comes at a time of growing trade and military tensions between Washington and Beijing, and amid worries by U.S. intelligence that Huawei's telecommunications equipment could contain "backdoors" for Chinese espionage. The firm has repeatedly denied such claims. Nevertheless, Australia and New Zealand recently banned Huawei from building their next generation of mobile phone networks, and British authorities have also expressed concerns.

How arrest of Chinese 'princess' exposes regime's world domination plot
Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou's arrest in Vancouver on Dec. 6 led to immediate blowback. Furious Chinese Communists have begun arresting innocent Canadians in retaliation. So far, three of these "revenge hostages" have been taken and are being held in secret jails on vague charges. Beijing hints that the hostage count may grow if Meng is not freed and fast. Even for a thuggish regime like China's, this kind of action is almost unprecedented.
So who is Meng Wanzhou? CurRently under house arrest and awaiting extradition to the US, she will face charges that her company violated US sanctions by doing business with Iran and committed bank fraud by disguising the payments it received in return. But to say that she is the CFO of Huawei doesn't begin to explain her importance - or China's reaction. It turns out that "Princess" Meng, as she is called, is Communist royalty. Her grandfather was a close comrade of Chairman Mao during the Chinese Civil War, who went on to become vice governor of China's largest province. She is also the daughter of Huawei's Founder and Chairman, Ren Zhengfei. Daddy is grooming her to succeed him when he retires. In other words, Meng is the heiress appaRent of China's largest and most advanced hi-tech company, and one which plays a key role in China's grand strategy of global domination.
Huawei is a leader in 5G technology and, earlier this year, surpassed Apple to become the second largest smartphone maker in the world behind Samsung. But Huawei is much more than an innocent manufacturer of smartphones. It is a spy agency of the Chinese Communist Party.
How do we know? Because the party has repeatedly said so. First in 2015 and then again in June 2017, the party declared that all Chinese companies must collaborate in gathering intelligence. "All organizations and citizens," reads Article 7 of China's National Intelligence Law, "must support, assist with, and collaborate in national intelligence work, and guard the national intelligence work secrets they are privy to." All Chinese companies, whether they are private or owned by the state, are now part and parcel of the party's massive overseas espionage campaign.
Huawei is a key part of this aggressive effort to spy on the rest of the world. The company's smartphones, according to FBI Director Christopher Wray, can be used to "maliciously modify or steal information," as well as "conduct undetected espionage." Earlier this year the Pentagon banned the devices from all US military bases worldwide. But Huawei, which has been specially designated as a "national champion," has an even more important assignment from the Communist Party than simply listening in on phone conversations. As a global leader in 5G technology, it has been tasked with installing 5G "fiber to the phone" networks in countries around the world. In fact, "Made in China 2025" - the party's aggressive plan to dominate the cutting-edge technologies of the 21st century - singles out Huawei as the key to achieving global 5G dominance. Any network system installed by a company working hand-in-glove with China's intelligence services raises the danger of not only cyber espionage, but also cyber-enabled technology theft.
And the danger doesn't stop there. The new superfast 5G networks, which are 100 times faster than 4G, will literally run the world of the future. Everything from smartphones to smart cities, from self-driving vehicles to, yes, even weapons systems, will be under their control. In other words, whoever controls the 5G networks will control the world - or at least large parts of it. Huawei has reportedly secured more than 25 commercial contracts for 5G, but has been locked out of an increasing number of countries around the world because of spying concerns.
The "Five Eyes" - Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the US - have over the past year waged a concerted campaign to block the Chinese tech giant from dominating next-generation wireless networks around the world. Not only have they largely kept Huawei out of their own countries, they have convinced other countries like Japan, India and Germany to go along, too.

Huawei connected to Jiang Ze Min (The GWHB of China)
Huawei Chairwoman Sun Yafang, who has been in the position since 1999, is another prominent figure in the company and considered one of the most powerful women in the world. According to CIA reports, she has a background in the Ministry of State Security (MSS), China's intelligence agency.
Sun's influence within Huawei overshadowed Ren's. In 2010, Sun pressured Ren into giving up plans to promote his son, Ren Ping, as heir of Huawei. This suggests that Huawei is largely controlled by Chinese regime intelligence.
Additionally, prior to the corruption purges launched by curRent Chinese leader Xi Jinping, the MSS was firmly in the hands of the Jiang faction.
The heads of the MSS between 1985 and 2016 were Jia Chunwang, who served until 1998, then Xu Yongyue, who was on the job after Jia until 2007, when he was replaced by Geng Huichang.
Jia has strong relations with former Communist Party leader Jiang and his allies. Jia's son-in-law is Liu Lefei, the chairman of CITIC Private Equity Funds Management Co. Ltd. and the son of Liu Yunshan, a retired high-ranking CCP official linked to Jiang. Before his retirement at the beginning of this year, Liu Yunshan was one of seven members of the Politburo Standing Committee that leads the Communist Party.

"Business was flattish in the first decade, and then things took off like crazy. People suspect that something must have happened to help, but it's a mystery even inside the company," says the former executive.
There are signs that Mr Ren received support from the very top. In 1994, he briefed Jiang Zemin, then president and leader of the Communist party. A few years later, Huawei built a first nationwide communications network for the PLA.

in the early 1990s, Huawei also secured a key contract with the PLA, and in the mid-1990s the government began touting Huawei as a national champion. High-profile meetings between RenZhengfei and then-President Jiang Zemin precipitated many important government contracts.
Some say it was these high-level exchanges that unlocked more state-sponsored financing. In 1998 the Beijing branch of China Construction Bank lent Huawei RMB 3.9 billion in buyer's credit. Similarly, anecdotes arose of the government extending loans to cover for the situations where Huawei was providing services to local government-affiliated institutions for free. It's unclear whether this money was ever repaid.

Arrest of Huawei CFO Draws Attention to China's National Intelligence Law
China's National Security Law was passed in June 2017 and amended this April.
Even without any direct relationship with the Ministry of State Security (MSS), which is the Chinese regime's main intelligence and security agency, the National Security Law gives all Chinese citizens and entities the responsibility to supply intelligence information if requested.
Although there's no official report or solid evidence to show a relation between Meng Wanzhou and the MSS, many scholars and commentators suspect that Meng is a member of the MSS. Huawei itself is linked to both the Chinese military via its founder Ren Zhengfei, and the MSS via its chairwoman since 1999, Sun Yafang.

New Problems for Embattled Huawei in France and Germany
FRANKFURT/PARIS-Huawei faces fresh challenges in Europe after Germany's Deutsche Telekom announced it would review its vendor strategy and Orange said it would not hire the Chinese firm to build its next-generation network in France.
The shift by the national market leaders, both partly state owned, follows Huawei's exclusion on national security grounds by some U.S. allies, led by Australia, from building their fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks.
U.S. officials have briefed allies that Huawei is ultimately at the beck and call of the Chinese state, while warning that its network equipment may contain "back doors" that could open them up to cyber espionage.
The Deutsche Telekom review comes as U.S. regulators scrutinize the proposed $26 billion takeover by its T-Mobile US unit of Sprint Corp which is controlled by Japan's Softbank.
Softbank, which is days away from listing its wireless unit in Tokyo, plans to replace its 4G network equipment from Huawei, Nikkei has reported.
"We don't foresee calling on Huawei for 5G," Orange CEO Stephane Richard told reporters in Paris. "We are working with our traditional partners-they are Ericsson and Nokia."
Richard said the security concerns were legitimate: "I absolutely understand that all of our countries, and the FRench authorities, are preoccupied. We are too."
Economy Minister Peter Altmaier, in an interview with Reuters on Dec. 14, said "each product, each device must be secure if it is going to be used in Germany."
Responding, Huawei said it was not a supplier to Orange's existing 4G network in France and would not feature in the company's 5G plans in France. Huawei does supply Orange's networks outside France and expects to be involved in 5G there, it said.
Huawei has come under intense scrutiny as countries including Australia, New Zealand and Japan follow U.S. moves to restrict access to their markets, citing security concerns that its technology could be used by Beijing for spying.
In an April report, the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a Congressional group, pointed to extensive ties between Huawei and the Chinese Communist Party. Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei was a former director of telecoms research in the Chinese military's General Staff Department.
Ren's daughter, Meng Wanzhou, was arrested in Vancouver, Canada, on Dec. 1 at the request of U.S. law enforcement. She is accused of engaging in activities to skirt U.S. sanctions on Iran, and faces extradition to the United States.

But who is Sabrina Meng Wanzhou and why is this such a big deal?
Meng is the 46-year old CFO of Shenzhen-based Huawei, which is curRently stuck in the middle of the trade and technology spat between the US and China. US president Donald Trump in August authorised a ban on the company's hardware in US government networks, citing national security concerns - particularly in relation to the rollout of 5G networks.
Huawei, the world's biggest maker of telecoms network equipment, has said that the concerns were unwarranted.
Perhaps more importantly than this though, Meng is also the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei - one of China's leading businessmen, an ex-People's Liberation Army officer and an elected member of the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Q Research General #5382: Q rising Edition
Europe should be wary of telecommunications company Huawei and other Chinese technology companies, says European Union's technology chief, echoing cybersecurity concerns raised in other parts of the world.
European Commission Vice-President Andrus Ansip told reporters at a press confeRence on Dec. 7 that these companies have to cooperate with the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) intelligence services by placing backdoor services in their products, which can be used for espionage.
"I was always against having those mandatory backdoors," said Ansip, who is also the European Commissioner for digital single market. "[It is] about chips they can put somewhere to get our secrets. It's not a good sign when companies have to open their systems for some kind of secret services."
"As normal ordinary people, of course we have to be afraid," he added.
Ansip comments come days after Huawei's chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou was arrested on fraud charges in Canada. Meng is accused of concealing Huawei's relationship with Hong Kong-based company Skycom, which allegedly did business with Iran in violation of U.S. sanctions.
Prosecutors alleged that Skycom was effectively controlled by Huawei, according to Meng's bail hearing on Dec. 7.
Huawei responded to Ansip's statement on Dec. 7, calling the comments a "misunderstanding."
In November, The Weekend Australian cited an Australian national security source who said that Australia has evidence that Huawei company officials were pressured to disclose access codes and network details needed by CCP intelligence services to infiltrate a foreign network, according to secret intelligence reports.
The Australian reported that it remains unclear if the attempted cyber hack, that occurred only within the last two years, was successful.
The case provides the first known evidence that supports the long-held suspicions that Huawei poses a risk to the cyber security of sovereign nations because it is answerable to the CCP-particularly since China passed it National Intelligence Law last year. Under the new law, Chinese citizens and organizations are expected to cooperate with their state intelligence services as required.
Huawei is the world's largest maker of telecommunications network equipment and the No. 3 smartphone supplier. Ren Zhengfei, the founder of the company, was a former officer in the People's Liberation Army (PLA). He continues to run the company today.
The United States and Australia have already shut out Huawei from their 5G networks. Similarly, New Zealand refused a telecom's company's request to use Huawei technology in its 5G network last month.
UK's BT Group said this month that it would remove Huawei equipment from its 3G and 4G mobile operations, and will not be using Huawei technology in its 5G network. The chief of UK's foreign intelligence services said in a rare speech on Dec. 3 that Britain needs to review its 5G network reliance on Chinese technology without mentioning Huawei.
Meanwhile, Canada's head of intelligence agency has expressed concerns about the security of the country's emerging 5G network and other technology infrastructure, saying foreign interfeRence and espionage are the biggest threats to the country's national interest.
Japan is also planning to ban government purchases of Huawei equipment, according to reports on Dec. 7

Interesting analysis of the Huawei arrest…why did Bolton leave Trump in the dark about this arrest?

Neocons Sabotage Trump's Trade Talks - Huawei CFO Taken Hostage To Blackmail China
CNN reports that White House chief of staff John Kelly is expected to resign soon. There have been similar rumors before, but this time the news may actually be true. That is bad for Trump and U.S. policies. Kelly is one a the few counterweights to national security advisor John Bolton. His replacement will likely be whoever Bolton chooses. That will move contFrol over Trump policies further into the hands of the neo-conservatives.
It was Bolton who a week ago intentionally damaged U.S. relations with China.
The U.S. Justice Department arranged for Canada to arrest the chief financial officer of Huawei, Meng Wanzhou, over alleged U.S. sanctions violations with regards to Iran. The case is not over the sanction Trump recently imposed, but over an alleged collision with the sanction regime before the nuclear deal with Iran. The details are still unknown.
Meng Wanzhou is a daughter of the founder and main owner of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei, and was groomed to be his successor. The company is extremely well regarded in China. It is one of its jewel pieces and, with 170,000 employees and $100 billion in revenues, an important political actor.
The arrest on December 1 happened while president Trump was negotiating with president Xi of China about trade relations. Trump did not know about the upcoming arrest but Bolton was informed of it:
While the Justice Department did brief the White House about the impending arrest, Mr. Trump was not told about it. And the subject did not come up at the dinner with Mr. Xi.

Neocons Sabotage Trump's Trade Talks - Huawei CFO Taken Hostage To Blackmail China
CNN reports that White House chief of staff John Kelly is expected to resign soon. There have been similar rumors before, but this time the news may actually be true. That is bad for Trump and U.S. policies. Kelly is one a the few counterweights to national security advisor John Bolton. His replacement will likely be whoever Bolton chooses. That will move contFrol over Trump policies further into the hands of the neo-conservatives.
It was Bolton who a week ago intentionally damaged U.S. relations with China.
The U.S. Justice Department arranged for Canada to arrest the chief financial officer of Huawei, Meng Wanzhou, over alleged U.S. sanctions violations with regards to Iran. The case is not over the sanction Trump recently imposed, but over an alleged collision with the sanction regime before the nuclear deal with Iran. The details are still unknown.
Meng Wanzhou is a daughter of the founder and main owner of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei, and was groomed to be his successor. The company is extremely well regarded in China. It is one of its jewel pieces and, with 170,000 employees and $100 billion in revenues, an important political actor.
The arrest on December 1 happened while president Trump was negotiating with president Xi of China about trade relations. Trump did not know about the upcoming arrest but Bolton was informed of it:
While the Justice Department did brief the White House about the impending arrest, Mr. Trump was not told about it. And the subject did not come up at the dinner with Mr. Xi.

Beijing Threatens "Severe" Retaliation Against Canada If Huawei CFO Is Not Released
Canada's extraordinary arrest one week ago of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of Huawei founder and billionaire executive Ren Zhengfei, and its decision to charge her with "multiple" counts of fraud - a preamble to her likely extradition to the US to face charges of knowingly violating US and EU sanctions on Iran - has elicited widespread anger in Beijing, which declared Meng's detention a "violation of human rights" during a bail hearing for the jailed executive on Friday.
That anger has appaRently only intensified after the hearing adjourned without a decision (it will resume on Monday, allowing Meng's defense team to argue for why she should be released on bail, contrary to the wishes of government attorneys who are prosecuting the case).

Arrested Huawei Executive and Her Father Own Nearly $39 Million in Hong Kong Properties
By Sunny Chao, Epoch Times
December 7, 2018 Updated: December 8, 2018
After Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou was arrested, Hong Kong media have unveiled details of the local properties owned by her and her father.
Meng, the CFO of Huawei Technologies and her father, Ren Zhengfei, founder and chairman of Huawei, owned 22 property tenements in Hong Kong with a value of about HK$300 million ($38.4 million). They both hold Hong Kong identity cards and Canadian passports.
Meng was arrested in Vancouver on Dec. 1 at the behest of U.S. authorities on suspicion that she violated trade sanctions targeting Iran.
Meng is the eldest daughter of Ren and his ex-wife Meng Jun. She entered Huawei in 1993 and worked there secretly for more than two decades. In 2013, the fact that she was Ren's daughter was finally made public. Her brother Ren Ping also holds an important position in the company.
Hong Kong's Apple Daily reported on Dec. 7 that Ren Zhengfei purchased property in Hong Kong under an assumed name. In 2003, he used the name of Huawei to purchase four connected high-rise tenements in Island Harbourview, one of the largest private housing estates in Tai Kok Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. In 2004, he bought the remaining two tenements on the same floor, and then all tenements on two other floors. He purchased a total of 18 tenements, each of which are worth HK$ 3-4 million (several hundred thousand dollars) in that year.
Meng used her name to buy tenements in SorRento, a residential complex occupying the northern edge of Union Square in Hong Kong with the price of HK$33 million ($4.22 million). The next year, she bought a duplex tenement on Island Harbourview with HK$18 million ($2.3 million), which is believed to be Meng and her husband's residence in Hong Kong.
All the 22 tenements receive funds from mortgages, estimated at $HK300 million, according to the report. Meng was also president of three listed companies in Hong Kong-Huawei Tech. Investment Co., Ltd., Huawei International Co. Limited, and Hua Ying management Co. Limited.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2018/12/07/huawei-seeks-recover-espionage-concerns-2-billion-spending-pledge/
By James Cook
7 December 2018 - 5:43pm
Huawei has pledged to spend an extra $2bn (£1.5bn) to ease concerns raised by British intelligence agency GCHQ over the potential security risk posed by the use of its equipment in the UK's telecom networks
The spending pledge is designed to fix technical concerns over Huawei's hardware. A government report published in July found that "shortcomings in Huawei's engineering processes have exposed new risks in the UK telecommunication networks."
Huawei will use the money to improve its production processes in order to allow the government to inspect its devices more easily.
The spending pledge, first reported by Reuters, was reportedly planned before the arrest of Huawei's chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou at Vancouver airport last week.
The arrest of Ms Meng has threatened to restart a trade war between the US and China which Donald Trump has sought to end with a pause on tariffs.
Huawei is facing a growing US pressure on governments to block the use of its kit in their national infrastructure, amid concerns over the company's close ties with the Chinese government and fears it could be used for espionage.
Huawei was founded in 1987 by Ren Zhengfei, a former engineer in the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Ms Meng is his daughter and has been widely considered to be the most likely successor to run the company in the future.
The business has consistently denied any accusations of espionage and has appointed chairman Liang Hua as its interim chief financial officer. Mr Liang has worked for the company since 1995.
Ms Meng is scheduled to appear in a Vancouver court on Friday as she awaits possible extradition to the US. The Chinese Foreign ministry has repeatedly requested that Ms Meng be released.
The US government requested the arrest of Ms Meng as part of an investigation into allegations that Huawei evaded international sanctions in order to sell products to Iran.

Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou arrested in Canada, faces extradition to United States
By Julia Horowitz, CNN Business
Updated 11:58 AM ET, Thu December 6, 2018
New York (CNN Business)The chief financial officer of Chinese tech giant Huawei has been arrested in Canada. She faces extradition to the United States.
Meng Wanzhou, also known as Sabrina Meng and Cathy Meng, was apprehended in Vancouver on December 1, according to Canadian Justice Department spokesman Ian McLeod. In addition to her role as CFO, Meng serves as deputy chairwoman of Huawei's board. She's the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei.
Meng "is sought for extradition by the United States, and a bail hearing has been set for Friday," McLeod said in a statement, which was first reported by The Globe and Mail.
McLeod said the Canadian Justice Department can't share details of the case. Meng was granted a publication ban after a judge agreed to bar both police and prosecutors from releasing information about the case.
The US Justice Department sought the arrest as part of ongoing investigation, according to a law enforcement official.

Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (/?hw???we?/; Chinese: ??; pinyin: About this soundHuáwéi) is a Chinese multinational telecommunications-equipment and consumer-electronics company based in Shenzhen, Guangdong, South China.
Huawei has deployed its products and services in more than 170 countries, and as of 2011 it served 45 of the 50 largest telecoms operators.[3][need quotation to verify] Huawei overtook Ericsson in 2012 as the largest telecommunications-equipment manufacturer in the world,[4] and overtook Apple in 2018 as the second-largest manufacturer of smartphones in the world, behind Samsung Electronics.[5] It ranks 72nd on the Fortune Global 500.[6]
Ren Zhengfei, a former engineer in the Chinese People's Liberation Army, founded Huawei in 1987. At the time of its establishment, Huawei focused on manufacturing phone switches, but has since expanded to include building telecommunications networks, providing operational and consulting services and equipment to enterprises inside and outside of China, and manufacturing communications devices for the consumer market.[7][8] Huawei had over 170,000 employees as of September 2017, around 76,000 of them engaged in research and development (R&D).[9][10] It has 21 R&D institutes in countries including China, the United States,[11] Canada,[12] the United Kingdom,[13] Pakistan, Finland, France, Belgium, Germany, Colombia, Sweden, Ireland, India,[14] Russia, Israel, and Turkey.[15][16] As of 2017 the company invested US$13.8 billion in R&D, up from US$5 billion in 2013.[17][18]
The company will dedicate 20-30 percent of R&D funding to basic science research, up from its previous 10 percent, and increase R&D funding to at least US$15 billion annually, according to the official company statement in November 2018. CNBC reported that Huawei's revenue in 2018 will exceed 100 billion US dollars for the first time.[19]
Although successful internationally, Huawei has faced difficulties and cybersecurity concerns selling in some markets (such as the United States), over allegations that its equipment may contain backdoors that could enable unauthorized surveillance by the Chinese government and by the People's Liberation Army (citing, in particular, its founder having previously worked for the Army). While the company has argued that its products posed "no greater cybersecurity risk" than those of any other vendors, Huawei stated in April 2018 that it would largely pull out of the U.S. market, due to the scrutiny having impacted its activity. In August 2018, U.S. federal government entities were banned from purchasing Huawei or ZTE equipment.[20] Huawei's chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Canada on December 1, 2018 at the request of the United States, which accuses her of violating US sanctions against Iran.[21]

HSBC Monitor Flagged Suspicious Huawei Transactions to Prosecutors
Canadian authorities arrested Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou at the request of the U.S. for alleged violations of Iran sanctions
By Rachel Louise Ensign
Updated Dec. 6, 2018 2:08 p.m. ET
A federally appointed overseer at HSBC Holdings HSBC -4.56% PLC flagged suspicious transactions in the accounts of Huawei Technologies Co. to prosecutors seeking the extradition of the Chinese company's finance chief, people familiar with the matter said.
A monitor charged with evaluating HSBC's anti-money-laundering and sanctions controls in recent years relayed information about the Huawei transactions to federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York, the people said.
Canadian authorities on Dec. 1 arrested Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver at the request of the U.S. for alleged violations of Iran sanctions, the latest move by Washington against the Chinese cellular-technology giant. The U.S. is seeking Ms. Meng's extradition so she can appear in federal court in the Eastern District, The Wall Street Journal has reported.
HSBC, one of several banks that did business with Huawei, is cooperating with investigators and isn't a target in the Huawei probe, some of the people said. The British bank until recently was being formally monitored for its controls meant to catch money laundering and sanctions violations under a 2012 agreement with U.S. prosecutors.
The Journal reported in April that the Justice Department had launched a criminal probe into Huawei's dealings in Iran, following administrative subpoenas on sanctions-related issues from both the Commerce Department and the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control.
Ms. Meng's arrest has rattled global markets. U.S. stocks fell sharply on Thursday on fears that the incident could escalate tensions between the world's two largest economies, which recently reached a detente in their trade dispute. Ms. Meng is the daughter of Huawei's founder, Ren Zhengfei.

Huawei's CFO Arrested at U.S. Request, Sparking Outrage in China
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-05/huawei-cfo-arrested-in-canada-as-u-s-seeks-her-extradition
Huawei Technologies Co.'s chief financial officer was arrested in Canada over potential violations of U.S. sanctions on Iran, provoking outrage from China and complicating thorny trade negotiations just as they enter a critical juncture.
China's embassy in Canada demanded the U.S. and its neighbor "rectify wrongdoings" and free Wanzhou Meng, who is also deputy chairwoman and the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei. U.S. equity futures and Asian stocks slid as the episode reignited concerns about U.S.-Chinese tensions.
Meng's arrest is likely to be regarded back home as an attack on one of China's foremost corporate champions. While Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd. dominate headlines thanks to flashy growth and high-profile billionaire founders, Ren's company is by far China's most global technology company, with operations spanning Africa, Europe and Asia.
China wants the U.S. and Canada "to clarify the grounds for the detention, to release the detainee and earnestly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the person involved," Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said Thursday at a press briefing.
Meng faces extradition to the U.S., said Ian McLeod, a Canada Justice Department spokesman, declining to elaborate. She was arrested Dec. 1 after the U.S. Department of Justice in April opened an investigation into whether the leading telecommunications-equipment maker sold gear to Iran despite sanctions on exports to the region.
The U.S. Department of Justice didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
Meng's arrest came on the day that Donald Trump and Xi Jinping dined in Buenos Aires, setting in motion a truce in the rising U.S.-China trade tensions. But Huawei itself already had been a flashpoint between Washington and Beijing.
Huawei's ambitions span artificial intelligence and chipmaking to fifth-generation wireless. That last effort, a massive push into the future of mobile and internet communications, has raised hackles in the U.S. and become a focal point for American attempts to contain China's ascendancy. Shares in several of its suppliers, from Sunny Optical Technology Group Co. and Largan Precision Co. to MediaTek Inc., fell.

Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou facing extradition to the US after arrest in Canada

'The global chief financial officer of Chinese phone firm Huawei is facing extradition to the US after being arrested in Canada.
Meng Wanzhou, who is the daughter of company founder Ren Zhengfei, has been detained in Vancouver in relation to suspected violations by Huawei of US sanctions placed on Iran.
Huawei is one of the largest makers of telecommunications network equipment in the world and is thought to have been shipping products from America to the Middle Eastern country since at least 2016.
The firm has confirmed the arrest of Ms Meng, which happened on 1 December, but said it was "not aware of any wrongdoing" by its CFO, who will appear in court for a bail hearing on Friday.
The Chinese embassy in Ottawa has called for her immediate release.
It said in a statement: "The Chinese side firmly opposes and strongly protests over such kind of actions which seriously harmed the human rights of the victim.'

'Chinese state media warns there will be a backlash to New Zealand after the controversial decision to block Huawei equipment in the planned 5G mobile network.
Officials and experts have told Chinese tabloid Global Times that the ban will "only hurt [New Zealand's] industry and consumers"
Xiang Ligang, a Beijing-based veteran industry analyst, told the Global Times the move will backfire.
"New Zealand has taken this action just after the US reportedly asked its allies to say 'no' to Huawei equipment. It's following the US' lead on this matter, but it will only end up hurting itself," he said.
State media has also been reporting on the alleged backwards nature of New Zealand's technology infrastructure.
"We often have windy days, and the network is particularly vulnerable," a Chinese woman living in Auckland told the Global Times. "The speed is really slow compared with China."
Mr Xiang warned that rejecting Chinese companies would significantly slow the upgraded 5G rollout in New Zealand.'

Canada arrests Huawei CFO facing US extradition for allegedly violating Iran sanctions
Canada has arrested Huawei's global chief financial officer in Vancouver, where she is facing extradition to the United States on suspicion she violated U.S. sanctions against Iran.
Meng Wanzhou, who is one of the vice chairs on the Chinese technology company's board and the daughter of company founder Ren Zhengfei, was arrested on Dec. 1 and a court hearing has been set for Friday, a Canadian Justice Department spokesman confirmed to Reuters.
Huawei, one of the world's largest makers of telecommunications network equipment, said in a statement:
Recently, our corporate CFO, Ms. Meng Wanzhou, was provisionally detained by the Canadian Authorities on behalf of the United States of America, which seeks the extradition of Ms. Meng Wanzhou to face unspecified charges in the Eastern District of New York, when she was transferring flights in Canada.
The company has been provided very little information regarding the charges and is not aware of any wrongdoing by Ms. Meng. The company believes the Canadian and US legal systems will ultimately reach a just conclusion.
Huawei complies with all applicable laws and regulations where it operates, including applicable export control and sanction laws and regulations of the UN, US and EU.
Officials for the U.S. Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
U.S. authorities have been probing Huawei since at least 2016 for allegedly shopping U.S.-origin products to Iran and other countries in violation of U.S. export and sanctions laws, sources told Reuters in April.

Canada has arrested Huawei's global chief financial officer in Vancouver
Canada has arrested the chief financial officer of China's Huawei Technologies who is facing extradition to the United States on suspicion she violated U.S. trade sanctions against Iran.
Wanzhou Meng, who is also the deputy chair of Huawei's board and the daughter of company founder Ren Zhengfei, was arrested in Vancouver at the request of U.S. authorities.
"Wanzhou Meng was arrested in Vancouver on December 1. She is sought for extradition by the United States, and a bail hearing has been set for Friday," Justice department spokesperson Ian McLeod said in a statement to The Globe and Mail. "As there is a publication ban in effect, we cannot provide any further detail at this time. The ban was sought by Ms. Meng.
U.S. prosecutors in New York have been investigating whether Huawei violated U.S. sanctions in relation to Iran. News of the probe broke in April 2018 when it was reported by the Wall Street Journal.
Since at least 2016, U.S. authorities have been reviewing Huawei's alleged shipping of U.S.-origin products to Iran and other countries in violation of U.S. export and sanctions laws.
The Justice Department probe, first reported by the Wall Street Journal in April, follows a series of U.S. actions aimed at stopping or reducing access by Huawei and Chinese smartphone maker ZTE Corp to the U.S. economy amid allegations the companies could be using their technology to spy on Americans.
The probe is reportedly being run out of the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn, the sources said. However, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office in April 2018 declined to confirm or deny the existence of the investigation.
Ms. Meng, a rising star at Shenzhen-based Huawei, now the world's second-largest maker of telecommunications equipment. Reuters reported in 2013 that Ms. Meng served on the board of a Hong Kong-based Skycom Tech Co. Ltd. that later attempted to sell embargoed Hewitt Packard computer equipment to Iran's largest mobile-phone operator.
At least 13 pages of the Skycom proposal were marked "Huawei confidential" and carried Huawei's logo. Huawei has said neither it nor Skycom ultimately provided the HP equipment. HP said it prohibits the sale of its products to Iran.

Spark said this afternoon it had been notified by GCSB Director-General Andrew Hampton that it cannot use Huawei gear for its pending 5G mobile network upgrade.
The telco's announcement preempted any official statement from the government, though the GCSB and its minister, Andrew Little, later confirmed the development.
The decision represents a stark change in direction. For years while he was in power, former Prime Minister and GCSB Minister John Key actively encouraged our phone companies to use gear made by the Chinese company, founded by former People's Liberation Army officer turned billionaire entrepReneur Ren Zhengfei.
Under the Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act 2013 or TICSA, technology used by Spark, Chorus, Vodafone, 2degrees and other network operators for upgrades to be vetted and approved by the security agency.
The Director-General told Spark today that he considers Spark's proposal to use Huawei 5G equipment in Spark's planned 5G RAN would, if implemented, raise significant national security risks, the telco says.
"Under TICSA, this means Spark cannot implement or give effect to its proposal to use Huawei RAN equipment in its planned 5G network," Spark says.
Tech-specialist lawyer Rick Shera said this is the first time TICSA has been used to block telco supplier.
The GCSB's appaRent move comes after reports on Friday that the US was pressuring allies to drop Huawei.
While American suspicion of Huawei is longstanding - it pre-dates President Trump - previous efforts have focussed on keeping the Chinese company out of the US. Now, it's broadening its battle lines.
US officials are reportedly worried about the prospect of Chinese telecom-equipment makers spying on or disabling connections to an exponentially growing universe of things, including components of manufacturing plants.

Chinese phone maker Huawei says it didn't take Facebook data
Chinese phone maker Huawei, a firm flagged by U.S. intelligence officials as a national security threat, on Wednesday said it neither collected nor stored user data Facebook provided as part of a partnership with the social media giant.
Huawei spokesman Joe Kelly said the arrangement was about making Facebook's services more convenient for users, particularly for older phones.
The recent revelation that Facebook has data-sharing partnerships with at least four Chinese electronics companies, including telecom equipment firm Huawei, founded by former Chinese military officer Ren Zhengfei, is drawing sharp criticism from lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Members of the Senate Commerce Committee said CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified to them earlier this year that he would improve security practices - but he failed to tell them his firm had data-sharing partnerships with at least 60 device manufacturers.
"The bottom line is these revelations are yet another example of questionable business practices by Facebook that could undermine basic consumer privacy," Sen. Bill Nelson, Florida Democrat, said Wednesday on the Senate floor. "Remember, less than two months ago, Mr. Zuckerberg appeared in front of our committee and apologized for his company's negligence and pledged to do better."
The latest reports, Mr. Nelson added, made it "hard to know what's true anymore. And now we learn that Facebook gave Chinese companies believed to be national security risks access to user data. What in the world is next and what in the world is going to protect Americans' personally identifiable private information?"
On Tuesday, Facebook's vice-president of mobile partnerships, Francisco Varela, disclosed that the Silicon Valley-based firm has data-sharing partnerships with Chinese firms Huawei, Lenovo, OPPO and TCL.
"Huawei is the third largest mobile manufacturer globally and its devices are used by people all around the world, including in the United States. Facebook along with many other US tech companies have worked with them and other Chinese manufacturers to integrate their services onto these phones," Francisco Varela, Facebook's VP of mobile partnerships, said in a statement.
Huawei and its Shenzhen-based rival ZTE have been the subject of security concerns in the U.S. for years. In May, the Pentagon banned the sale of Huawei and ZTE phones on military bases, months after AT&T dropped a deal to sell a new Huawei smartphone.
Facebook has also spent months in the spotlight - initially for failing to stop a wave of Russian propaganda from abusing the social media platform during the 2016 presidential election - then for the Cambridge Analytica data scandal. The now defunct British political research firm collected personal data of up to 87 million Facebook users and allegedly used it to attempt to influence voter opinion in elections. The ensuing controversy forced Mr. Zuckerberg to testify before Congress in April.
Earlier this week, Senate Commerce Committee chairman John Thune, South Dakota Republican, and Mr. Nelson, the committee's ranking Democrat, demanded answers from Mr. Zuckerberg in a letter written in response to a New York Times report that the manufacturers who shared user data were able to access "user friends data" even if the friends had denied giving permission to share info with third parties.
In their letter, the senators asked if Facebook audited any of the data-sharing partnerships under a 2011 consent order imposed by the Federal Trade Commission, which required the firm to secure consumers' "express consent" before sharing personal data with third parties. They also asked if Mr. Zuckerberg wanted to revise his testimony before the committee.
Meanwhile in London Wednesday, the former head of Cambridge Analytica clashed with British lawmakers investigating the use of Facebook data in election campaigns.
Alexander Nix told the U.K. Parliament's media committee that while he was embarrassed at having been caught on camera boasting that he could entrap political figures by compromising them with bribes and Ukrainian women - he denied his firm acted unethically and insisted he was entrapped by unscrupulous, undercover journalists.
The firm filed for bankruptcy earlier this year after former employees alleged that it used personal information harvested from Facebook accounts to target voters during Donald Trump's 2016 U.S. presidential campaign.
Mr. Nix's testimony comes just days after U.K. Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham told the European Parliament she was "deeply concerned" about the impact on democracy of the misuse of social media users' personal information. She said legal systems had failed to keep up with the rapid development of the internet.

Huawei executive lands in China and the two Michaels landed at Calgary after deal with US
Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou returned to China Saturday shortly after two Canadians released from prison in China also arrived in Calgary, ending a bitter diplomatic row that has poisoned ties for three years. Meng and the two Canadians former diplomat Michael Kovrig and businessman Michael Spavor were detained in a bitter spat critics have called "hostage diplomacy". Meng, the 49-year-old daughter of Ren Zhengfei, the billionaire founder of Chinese telecoms giant Huawei, was granted release in a Vancouver court hearing after three years of house arrest in Canada while fighting extradition to the United States. This came hours after US prosecutors announced an agreement under which fraud charges against her are to be suspended and eventually dropped. She then quickly boarded a flight to the southern city of Shenzhen, returning to China for the first time since her arrest at Vancouver's international airport at the behest of US authorities in December 2018. Meng received a red-carpet welcome as her flight landed, according to a live feed on state broadcaster CCTV, with Huawei employees waiting on the tarmac as a staffer in full protective gear held a bouquet of flowers. Meanwhile, the two detained Canadians arrived back in Calgary, western Canada on Saturday, and were shown on TV being greeted and hugged by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Huawei was founded in 1987 by a former officer of China's People's Liberation Army, Ren Zhengfei, as a sales agent for business telephone systems, and over the last three decades it has grown to become the world's biggest maker of telecommunications equipment, which includes the routers, switches and cell-tower antennas used to shuttle voice and data traffic over mobile networks.
Huawei entered the Australian market in 2004 and built relationships with two of the country's three main wireless network operators.
Australia's dominant telecom - Melbourne-based Telstra Corp. Ltd. - has long avoided Huawei products, owing to concerns about potential Chinese tampering and the company's partnership with Ericsson, according to three former Telstra executives. "Telstra does not have any equipment from Huawei in its network now, nor have we in the past," the company said in a statement.
But Telstra's two smaller rivals embraced the technology.
An early and symbolically important partner was Optus, a division of Singapore Telecommunications Ltd., which is Singapore's biggest telecom. Optus picked Huawei for several large-scale infrastructure upgrades, starting in 2005 with a deal for digital subscriber line equipment. Optus later picked Huawei in 2007 to supply part of its nationwide 3G wireless network and in 2012 for part of its 4G network. In addition to being Australia's second-biggest mobile carrier, Optus also operates the country's largest fleet of satellites, and it works closely with the Australian military.
Huawei's other key partner in Australia was Vodafone Hutchison Australia, the country's third-biggest mobile carrier. It selected Huawei to overhaul its entire 2G and 3G infrastructure in 2011 and later for parts of its 4G networks as well.
The identity of the telecom impacted by the breach in Australia wasn't shared widely in the briefings by Australian and U.S. intelligence officials, according to the people who received them. But a former senior U.S. intelligence official and a former Australian telecommunications executive who worked in a national security role said they were told it was Optus.
Optus disputed the information. "Optus has a strong track record of providing trusted and secure services, including to major government agencies. These are delivered in close collaboration with government and with strict adheRence to its advice on security matters," the company said in a statement. "Optus takes security very seriously. Any incidents of breaches or inappropriate vendor behavior would be taken into account in our network investment decisions, but we have no knowledge of the alleged incidents."
After a 2020 merger, Vodafone Hutchison Australia became TPG Telecom Ltd. The company said it wasn't aware of an attack. "We can confirm that there was no such malware in our network, and we have never heard of this alleged incident in respect of any Australian networks," the company said in a statement. "We comply with all directions and advice from the Australian government in relation to national security."
Starting around 2010, officials in Australia and the U.S. had grown alarmed by two tRends: the rising number of hacking attacks from China and Huawei's expanding role in their countries' telecommunications systems, according to Michael Wessel, who for more than 20 years has been a commissioner on the congressionally created U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. The commission examines national security implications of the trade and economic relationships between the two countries and reports its recommendations.
The countries began investigating whether any of those hacks traced back to Huawei equipment, he said.
"If there's a locksmith who's installing more and more locks on the doors in a community and suddenly there's a rash of silent robberies, at some point the locksmith becomes a person of interest," Wessel said. "Huawei around that time became a significant entity of interest."

ScoMo's secret cyber weapon: PM hires Trump cabinet secretary who led global campaign against Huawei to protect Australia against hacking attacks
One of Donald Trump's former cabinet secretaries who led the fight against tech giant Huawei is advising Australia on how to combat Chinese espionage.
Kirstjen Nielsen, the former US secretary of homeland security, has joined the federal government's industry advisory panel on cyber security.
As one of President Trump's key advisers, Ms Nielsen was instrumental in driving the American ban on Huawei installing 5G mobile technology.
In early 2018, she lobbied former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull to ban Huawei from being connected to this critical piece of infrastructure.
In August of that year Mr Turnbull, in one of his last acts as PM, barred Huawei from being allowed to set up any part of Australia's 5G network, adding to a 2012 ban on the company installing the National Broadband Network.
Ms Nielsen quit as President Trump's homeland security secretary in April 2019 and in November of last year joined the Australian government's industry advisory panel on cyber security, although it wasn't announced at the time.
Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton's office on Wednesday confirmed she had joined this panel, chaired by Telstra chief executive Andy Penn.
His spokeswoman issued a statement to Daily Mail Australia:
'Ms Nielsen brings a wealth of cyber security knowledge to the Panel from her experience in defending U.S. Government and critical infrastructure networks from cyber security attacks,' it said.
'She will provide valuable insights on how Australia can work with its international partners to address global cyber security threats from nation states and criminal groups.'
Mr Turnbull's successor Scott Morrison on Friday last week revealed a 'sophisticated state-based actor' had been targeting companies, hospitals, schools and government officials.
He didn't name China as the culprit of these cyber attacks but intelligence experts were quick to suggest Australia's biggest trading partner was responsible, in retaliation for the ban on Huawei installing 5G.
Ms Nielsen's appointment was announced as a Lowy Institute poll found just 23 per cent of Australians trusted China, half the level of a year ago.
Former Labor prime minister Julia Gillard's government banned Huawei from installing the National Broadband Network in March 2012.
The Australian Strategic Policy Institute's director of national security strategy Michael Shoebridge said Chinese law compelled technology companies to cooperate with government agencies for intelligence gathering purposes.
'The fact that a sophisticated state actor, almost certainly Beijing, is conducting persistent intrusive cyber attacks against a range of Australian organisations across government and many sectors of the economy simply highlights the need to secure Australia's digital critical infrastructure,' he told Daily Mail Australia.
Mr Shoebridge said the revelations of recent days justified the 2018 ban on Huawei installing 5G, which is also policy in the United States.
'Giving the technology firms of a country whose government conducts such cyber attacks against Australia the ability to build key chunks of our digital backbone in the form of 5G would only give that state access to be even more successful cyber intruders than they are without such internal access and knowledge,' he said.
'It's hard to see how that could be in Australia's interests - or the interests of other governments internationally who face the same risks.'
On Friday, intelligence sources told the ABC that China's hacking of Australian data bases was a retaliation at Huawei being barred from installing 5G.
Huawei's founder Ren Zhengfei was a member of the People's Liberation Army before founding his technology company in 1987.

'What little credibility you have has disappeared': Independent senator Nick Xenophon claims banned Chinese telco Huawei have been treated 'unfairly' by Australia
Former senator Nick Xenophon has accused Australia of unfairly treating controversial Chinese telco firm Huawei as he accepted a new job as their lawyer.
The founder of the Centre Alliance political party is now the partner of law firm Xenophon Davis, with former investigative TV journalist Mark Davis.
Mr Xenophon accused Australia of smearing Huawei's reputation, as he announced Xenophon Davis's high-profile new client.
'We will defend Huawei Australia against false allegations that will unfairly cause it further economic loss and reputuational damage,' he said in a statement on Monday.
The former South Australian senator, whose political party now has three MPs in federal Parliament, was savaged on Twitter.
'Sorry Nick. What little crediblity you had left has now disappeared completely,' one critic Jasper Williams tweeted in reply to the Xenophon Davis social media account.
Huawei, the world's biggest telecommunications equipment company, was barred in 2012 from installing Australia's National Broadband Network over security and cyber spying fears.
In August last year, former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull announced Huawei would also be banned from installing 5G mobile, annoying Australia's biggest trading partner, China.
Mr Xenophon denied any suggestion his law firm would be a mouthpiece for the Chinese government.
'We are not here to defend the Chinese government or any of its actions,' he said.
'Huawei Australia is not owned by the Chinese government.
'Nor is it a wing of the Chinese Communist Party or a front for any of its intelligence arms.'
Huawei's founder Ren Zhengfei was a member of the People's Liberation Army before founding his technology company in 1987.
His ties to the Chinese Communist Party have made governments nervous, from Australia to India.
On Monday, Huawei issued a media release announcing it had appointed Xenophon Davis to 'defend our company locally against malicious and false attacks designed to cause us reputational damage'.
'Every smear against Huawei is also a smear against our hard working staff and we want to make sure the important discussion around cyber security is based on facts and not baseless innuendo that is unfortunately dominating the curRent discussion,' Huawei's director of corporate affairs Jeremy Mitchell said.
Mr Xenophon, a former campaigner against poker machines, is far from the only former Australian politician hired by Huawei.
In 2011, it appointed former Liberal foreign minister Alexander Downer and former Victorian Labor premier John Brumby to its board in Australia.
Huawei is already banned from installing communications in the United States and New Zealand.

U.S. intelligence says Huawei funded by Chinese state security: report
Sourced from QRes#7991
(Reuters) - U.S. intelligence has accused Huawei Technologies of being funded by Chinese state security, The Times said on Saturday, adding to the list of allegations faced by the Chinese technology company in the West.
The CIA accused Huawei of receiving funding from China's National Security Commission, the People's Liberation Army and a third branch of the Chinese state intelligence network, the British newspaper reported, citing a source.
Earlier this year, U.S. intelligence shared its claims with other members of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing group, which includes Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, according to the report.
Huawei dismissed the allegations in a statement cited by the newspaper.
"Huawei does not comment on unsubstantiated allegations backed up by zero evidence from anonymous sources," a Huawei representative told The Times.
The company, the CIA and Chinese state security agencies did not respond immediately to requests for comment.
The accusation comes at a time of trade tensions between Washington and Beijing and amid concerns in the United States that Huawei's equipment could be used for espionage. The company has said the concerns are unfounded.
Authorities in the United States are probing Huawei for alleged sanctions violations.
Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer and daughter of its founder, Ren Zhengfei, was arrested in Canada in December at the request of the United States on charges of bank and wire fraud in violation of U.S. sanctions against Iran.
She denies wrongdoing and her father has previously said the arrest was "politically motivated".
Amid such charges, top educational institutions in the West have recently severed ties with Huawei to avoid losing federal funding.
Another Chinese technology company, ZTE Corp, has also been at the center of similar controversies in the United States.
U.S. sanctions forced ZTE to stop most business between April and July last year after Commerce Department officials said it broke a pact and was caught illegally shipping U.S.-origin goods to Iran and North Korea. The sanctions were lifted after ZTE paid $1.4 billion in penalties.
Reuters reported earlier this week that the United States will push its allies at a meeting in Prague next month to adopt shared security and policy measures that will make it more difficult for Huawei to dominate 5G telecommunications networks.

Huawei names John Brumby, Alexander Downer board members
CHINA'S Huawei Technologies has appointed Liberal and Labor elders, Alexander Downer and John Brumby, to its Australian board in a bid to secure part of the $1 billion-plus National Broadband Network technology deal.
As cyber-security fears rise, Huawei, the world's second biggest telecommunications equipment maker, has doubled efforts to assuage concerns by security agencies, including ASIO, about its feared connections with the People's Liberation Army.
Huawei, China's most successful privately held company, has increased disclosures in its annual report and has offered to open its networks for inspection.
Huawei chairman, former PLA officer Ren Zhengfei, has met Communications Minister Stephen Conroy to make Huawei's case.
The company, which has struggled to make inroads in markets such as Australia, the US and India, has repeatedly denied links with the PLA, saying it is 100 per cent owned by its employees.
"People are a bit unsure about China but I remember when none of us would buy Japanese cars or products," retired rear admiral John Lord, who will chair the board, said.
"Many of Huawei's competitors have their products made in China as well."
Mr Ren said he wanted his company to be global.
He wanted to get the company better known and was keen to improve the relationship with the Australian government.
Mr Lord said he thought some of the American stories about Huawei and the problems over security were not based on fact.

The boasting comes on the heels of Russian state broadcaster RT being kicked off Canadian airwaves starting Monday evening.
Wednesday afternoon, the Chinese tech giant tweeted "what's the opposite of being banned?" with a link to a story promoting Huawei Canada's 'store in store' partnership with Canada Computers at the retailer's Toronto-North York location where customers can test and purchase new Huawei products.
Rogers Communications Inc., BCE Inc. and Telus Corp. announced Sunday that Russian state broadcaster RT would no longer be available to their customers.
Saturday, Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez said the government would look at "all options" aimed at purging the Kremlin-controlled channel from the Canadian broadcasting system, amid uniform denunciations of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Founded in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China in 1987 by Ren Zhengfei, a former People's Liberation Army officer, Huawei has been implicated in Chinese government spying.

The filing is one of several of its kind involving leading Chinese technology companies, discovered by a U.S. research company and shared with BBC News.

Huawei CFO Meng's lawyer says 'double criminality' at center of U.S. extradition case
A lawyer for Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou argued on Monday that "double criminality" was at the center of a trial to decide whether Meng can be extradited to the United States, a case that has strained relations between Ottawa and Beijing. Meng, 47, arrived in a Vancouver courtroom wearing a dark top with polka dots, for the first phase of a trial that will last at least four days, as China repeated its call for Canada to release her.
Legal experts have said it could be years before a final decision is reached in the case, since Canada's justice system allows many decisions to be appealed. The United States has charged Meng with bank fraud, and accused her of misleading HSBC Holdings Plc about Huawei Technologies Co Ltd's [HWT.UL] business in Iran. Court proceedings show the United States issued the arrest warrant, which Canada acted on in December 2018, because it believes Meng covered up attempts by Huawei-linked companies to sell equipment to Iran, breaking U.S. sanctions against the country.
Meng is the daughter of Huawei's billionaire founder Ren Zhengfei and remains free on bail in Canada. She has said she is innocent and is fighting extradition in part because her alleged conduct was not illegal in Canada, an argument known legally as "double criminality." Unlike the United States, Canada did not have sanctions against Iran at the time Canadian officials authorized commencing with the extradition, her lawyers have said. The courtroom was packed with only standing room available.
Meng's legal team is curRently only scheduled to call evidence in the last week of April, and a second phase of the trial, focusing on abuse of process and whether Canadian officials followed the law while arresting Meng, is set to begin in June. Closing arguments are expected in the last week of September and first week of October.

Huawei-CEO sagt, 5G-Technologie sei wie "Atombombe" für die USA, warnt vor "neuem Kalten Krieg"
Der CEO von Huawei, Ren Zhengfei, hat Donald Trump im 5G-Wettbewerb mit China fixiert und die Technologie mit einer "Atombombe" für den US-Präsidenten verglichen. Zhengfei versprach auch, ein "Spionageabkommen" mit Deutschland zu unterstützen.
"Leider betrachten die USA die 5G-Technologie als strategische Waffe", sagte Zhengfei in einem Interview mit der deutschen Wirtschaftswoche und dem Handelsblatt.
"Für sie ist es eine Art Atombombe", fügte er hinzu.
In einem Interview mit den deutschen NachrichtenagentuRen sagte der CEO, sein Unternehmen werde keine Überwachungs-HintertüRen an seinen 5G-Geräten in dem Land installieRen. Berlin zögerte, Huawei an der bevorstehenden Einführung von 5G teilzunehmen, wobei Sicherheitsbedenken geltend gemacht wurden, aber die oberste Telekommunikationsbehörde des Landes erklärte am Montag, dass kein Ausrüstungslieferant "ausgeschlossen werden sollte oder darf".
Inzwischen sagte Zhengfei, er werde die chinesische Regierung auffordern, ein "Spionageabkommen" mit Deutschland zu unterzeichnen und sich zur Einhaltung der Allgemeinen Datenschutzverordnung der Europäischen Union (DSDPR) zu verpflichten.
Washington hat diplomatischen Druck auf Deutschland ausgeübt, um Huawei auszuschließen, nachdem mehrere US-Geheimdienste gewarnt hatten, dass das Unternehmen Informationen für Peking sammeln könnte. Zhengfei nannte diese Vorwürfe "Märchen" und forderte die USA auf, "Tatsachen und Beweise zur Verfügung zu stellen, um ihre Vorwürfe zu stützen."
Präsident Trump für sein Teil betrachtet das Rennen um 5G als einen strategischen Kampf und sagte den Reportern am Freitag, die USA könnten "keinem andeRen Land erlauben, die Vereinigten Staaten in dieser mächtigen Zukunftsbranche zu schlagen."
