China's Huawei and CFO Wanzhou Meng charged with financial fraud, theft of trade secrets

Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker announces criminal charges against Huawei Technologies Co. and CFO Wanzhou Meng for stealing trade secrets and defrauding banks.

The Trump administration on Monday brought criminal charges against Huawei for alleged theft of trade secrets, wire fraud and breach of sanctions, among other violations.



In 23 indictments, filed in federal court in Brooklyn and Seattle, the U.S. claims that Huawei sought to steal confidential information from T-Mobile from 2012 to 2014, and that executives at the top brass of the company were aware of the effort. The government also alleges that the Chinese firm misrepresented its ownership of an Iranian affiliate called Skycom. The U.S. has sanctions against doing business in Iran.



The list of defendants includes Huawei's Chief Financial Officer Wanzhou Meng, who was arrested in Canada last month Opens a New Window.  and is facing extradition to the U.S. A formal extradition request is expected to be filed by Tuesday, according to acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker.


Lol, looks like this time China has ran their faces into a brick wall.

They don't care Zetsu...



Huawei is too important to the regime.

CHINA HAS A BEEF WITH CANADA

Puts the squeeze on Canadian exports



Canadian beef exports to China grew from $9 million last March to $48 million.



As the world marks the 30th anniversary of Tiananmen Square, China is doing another crackdown.



This time it is against Canada — all because we won't give in to China's demands we abandon our rule of law.



Beef exports are the latest casualty as they try to make the Trudeau government come to heel.



Thankfully, the PM and his team so far haven't given in.



China has long been annoyed with Canada under Justin Trudeau — beyond the detention of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou last December.



Despite Trudeau's admiration for China — and even its basic dictatorship — President Xi Jinping has expressed annoyance at Trudeau for some time.



The battle is about much more than Meng, more than Huawei — it's about China's attempt to become the global power.



They arrested Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig on trumped up charges, boosted the drug sentence of Robert Schellenberg from 15 years to death.



Add to that the economic measures.



In the last few months, China has targeted Canadian exports of canola, peas and pork



— and now beef.



Canadian beef exports to China grew from $9 million last March to $48 million.



They are now our third-largest market for pork and beef, and among our top customers for canola and pulse crops.



It's more than a trade spat, it's a power play.



Meng is due back in court Thursday as part of the extradition process, and China is hoping the political pressure will lead to a judicial solution.



Trudeau had maintained politics don't enter into Canadian judicial decisions, but then the Snc-lavalin happened.



China has been trying to squeeze key Canadian industries in the hopes Trudeau will bend, I have to say that thankfully he has not.



John Masswohl of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association says his members may be wary about shipping products to China given the current situation.



Millions of dollars of product are already "on the water" en route to China.



Former Conservative agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said that while this is part of a larger fight, the Trudeau government hasn't put forward Canada's position clearly, and beef won't be the last product targeted by China.



"They have gone done the list from canola to peas to pork to beef," Ritz said.



If Canada gives in now, then who knows what China will target next?

Will the judiciary heed Meng's lawyers advice.



Meng Wanzhou's lawyers say Canada should end extradition for 'national interests'
