US judge says China's Huawei Technologies must face criminal charges
A U.S. judge has ruled that China's Huawei Technologies, a leading telecoms equipment company, must face criminal charges in a wide reaching case alleging it stole technology and engaged in racketeering, wire and bank fraud and other crimes. U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly in Brooklyn, New York, rejected Huawei's request to dismiss the allegations in a 16-count federal indictment against the company.
