U.S. lawyers prosecuting Huawei Technologies Co. for alleged Iran sanctions violations said the company shouldn’t be allowed to share more than 21,000 pages of “sensitive” evidence in the People’s Republic of China because it could be “misused.”
Huawei, one of the world’s largest makers of smartphones and networking equipment, and Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou have been fighting charges filed in 2019 that they evaded U.S. sanctions on Iran and lied to U.S. authorities. Prosecutors in February unveiled a revised indictment that added racketeering charges tied to allegations the company conspired to steal intellectual property from half a dozen U.S. firms.
Prosecutors warned that if the information is released outside the U.S., it “could fall into the wrong hands.” They cited a recent New York Times report that five former Huawei employees were jailed by Chinese authorities after they engaged in a WeChat conversation in which one said he could “prove Huawei sold [equipment] in Iran.”
The U.S. says it has already shared more than five million pages of evidence with Huawei’s American defense lawyers and that only about 12% of them were designated as sensitive discovery material.
US arguments are self defeating: Canada should not use Huawei equipment because they will give the information to the Chinese government illegally.Canadian court should prohibit Huawei from sharing info with China in this case?
Whether they are or not. How do you run a case without showing evidence? Our courts allow for the defense to defend themselves, yes or no? If evidence cannot be shown then there is no case, right?
When one detests and doesn't trust China it goes without saying its the state, leadership and the 100 million+ CCP who operate and control ever second of Chinese peoples lives. Huawei is an arm of the ChinaCCP state, will do and say anything to protect it.
Well, anyone can say that the allegation can't be trusted.
