Huawei accused the U.S. government of using “every tool at its disposal” to disrupt it and its partners’ business operations. This includes threatening and arresting employees, using cyberattacks against the company, and “a host of other unscrupulous means.”

In a press release issued in response to a report about new charges of intellectual property theft by Huawei, the vendor said “these allegations are false,” and it issued a litany of complaints against the U.S.

On Aug. 29, The Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. prosecutors were investigating new instances in which Huawei was accused of stealing intellectual property from “multiple people and companies over several years.” This included alleged theft of smartphone-camera technology from Mr. Rui Pedro Oliveira, a Portuguese multimedia producer.

While Huawei admits that executives from its U.S. subsidiary did meet with Oliveira, and at the meeting he pitched his camera design, “Huawei did not use his design” in its EnVizion 360 panoramic camera, the vendor says.

“Huawei categorically rejects Mr. Oliveira’s claims of patent infringement, and has provided detailed documents in support of its stance,” the press release says. “Nevertheless, Mr. Oliveira proceeded to feed a false narrative to the media in an attempt to tarnish Huawei’s reputation.”

After addressing these allegations, the vendor then goes on to charge the U.S. government with “using every tool at its disposal — including both judicial and administrative powers, as well as a host of other unscrupulous means — to disrupt the normal business operations of Huawei and its partners.”

This includes nine bulleted points outlining its grievances against the U.S. such as “instructing law enforcement to threaten, menace, coerce, entice, and incite both current and former Huawei employees” and “launching cyberattacks to infiltrate Huawei’s intranet and internal information systems.”

Huawei did not provide any specifics to backup these charges and could not be immediately reached for comment. But it’s no secret that over past year the U.S. has led the charge to ban the Chinese vendor’s networking equipment being used in 5G networks, thus prompting several other Western countries to follow suit. And in January, the Justice Department charged the company with conspiring to violate sanctions on Iran and stealing robotic technology from T-Mobile US.
