Huawei's US RICO Trial to Open in Brooklyn With Sanctions-Evasion and IP-Theft Charges Dating to 2000

The Financial Times previews the long-delayed US federal RICO trial of Huawei, expected to run four to six months in the Eastern District of New York. Charges include a decades-long racketeering scheme, Iran-sanctions evasion, HSBC bank fraud, and IP theft from US firms between 2000 and 2018. The case revives US-China tech confrontation just as Washington is weighing further chip-export changes and AI-cyber talks with Beijing.
