Huawei Accused Of 'Theft And Dubious Ethics' -- But That's Not The Worst Of It [www.forbes.com]
Years ago telecom hardware maker Tekelec told Obama admin a Brazilian customer had been approached by Huawei with an unusual offer: free equipment.

Sources said Huawei’s only condition was the customer had to turn over its custom-built Tekelec gear. https://t.co/BVjIeJ5n1q
The episode reflected two concerns about Huawei merging into one: Officials believed the company wanted to steal Tekelec’s IP for economic gain, but that the specific tech at issue—involving routing mobile traffic—could present surveillance opportunities. https://t.co/BVjIeINM9S

Excerpt from our NEW Huawei investigation:

Cisco's lawyer flew to Shenzhen to confront Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei with evidence of the co's theft, incl typos from Cisco’s manuals that also appeared in Huawei’s. Ren gave a one-word response: “Coincidence.”https://t.co/u2z1M2YxUo

I don’t blame them. And, in fairness, many companies also have SCIF-like rooms. https://t.co/4Pv1yYe0Mc

This is a truly incredible story. From spy-proof rooms in its offices to flagrant plagiarism of competitors’ technology to getting AT&T to scrap Huawei deals, trying to get Guam and Japan to stop dealings with it and even allegedly stealing a *pre-school teacher’s* music. https://t.co/odsCpuiztz

Overlooked detail in our Huawei investigation: 10 YEARS AGO a U.S. chip firm proposed trade case vs Huawei for allegedly using state subsidies to underbid rivals 30%+. But co balked, scared of ruining China prospects, & US govt never pursued its own case https://t.co/ysWvkS9xrA pic.twitter.com/2BWzYdgQkf

If you’re wondering why the US government is so upset with Huawei, here’s a great long read about the years of allegations of IP theft, from complicated routers to a preschool teacher’s song: https://t.co/JK9nJx38fS

It starts with a guy wandering around a trade show illicitly photographing the innards of machines built by competitors... and ends with a global trade fight. https://t.co/ZNgxQT7yPR
NEW: U.S. officials discovered secure rooms impenetrable to eavesdropping—and off-limits to American employees—in Huawei’s U.S. offices about seven years ago. Some believed the find was evidence Huawei had a protected communications link with Beijing. https://t.co/BVjIeINM9S

One company founded by stealing a Cisco router (including the programming flaws designed to detect theft) grew to the world’s largest by stealing as a core strategy. Great reporting @Kate_OKeeffe https://t.co/WTzZF4iHNd

If you're ever unsure of whether to read a WSJ piece, know that we have a fairly strict 3 byline rule. Sometimes 4 allowed. When its 6, you know it's for something special. https://t.co/awZnFEMqu9 pic.twitter.com/yAOtctlglC
This is no comment about whether or not Huawei is spying, but it does remind me of the secret, secure NSA rooms at AT&T facilities around the U.S. that were engaged in warrantless wiretapping and were off-limits to all but NSA-cleared AT&T employees. https://t.co/7q38gdI43F

Long but must read: “They spent all their resources stealing technology,” said Robert Read, a former contract engineer from 2002 to 2003 in Huawei’s Sweden office. “You’d steal a motherboard and bring it back and they’d reverse-engineer it.” https://t.co/RYbxFvf0bL

There will be many articles like this soon. What is described in them is "capitalism"/"competition". Same tactics employed by many major corps, no matter if it is Huawei or Intel or Google or Microsoft or whatever. US ban is about "SECURITY", not ethics. https://t.co/ZBwu0HX13O

This incredible piece is relentless and damning.

For those who dismiss Huawei’s theft with the “Tappy” case (i.e., “that’s all anyone has!), this shows a culture of IP theft that spanned everything from standard essential patents to cameras to music. https://t.co/rCo0W2UJty

Key takeaway from this superb report by @Kate_OKeeffe & colleagues on Huawei's rise to the top is all too common: victims of Huawei's IP theft often opted to keep silence out of fear of CN govt retaliation against their business interest in China https://t.co/A6Bwc6NpR7 via @WSJ
