Huawei Technologies is on trial in a Manhattan federal court on racketeering charges, bringing a criminal indictment that cites violations of U.S. sanctions and alleged theft of trade secrets. South China Morning Post reported that the New York case follows almost ten years of U.S. lawsuits accusing Huawei of breaching sanctions and stealing trade secrets.

Nikkei Asia and Reuters both cited the company's historic business dealings in Iran as a core element of the racketeering complaint. The Financial Times framed the trial as a test of whether the firm’s rapid ascent was built on illicit activity, while AP News confirmed the federal venue in Manhattan.

The outcome could shape future enforcement of export controls, affect ongoing U.S.–China technology negotiations, and influence the competitive landscape for telecom suppliers worldwide.
