Huawei defense to ask Canada court for delay in CFO's extradition hearings
The defense team for Huawei's chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, will ask a Canadian court to delay upcoming hearings in her U.S. extradition case, the court said on Friday.
Meng's U.S. extradition hearings have lasted more than two years and she is scheduled to be back in the British Columbia Supreme Court on April 26.
A source familiar with the matter told Reuters the application was a result of an agreement announced last week in a Hong Kong court between Huawei Technologies Co Ltd (HWT.UL) and HSBC (HSBA.L) regarding publication of internal documents relating to the fraud allegations against Meng

The US Grants Funds to Help Companies Replacing Chinese Corporate Communications Equipment
The US Federal Communications Commission unanimously approved the allocation of US$1.9 billion to subsidize US companies to replace equipment provided by Chinese telecommunications companies.
The funding aims to subsidize the removal of related communication equipment in rural areas of the United States. The number of customers of eligible companies must be less than 10 million, and the replacement equipment must be purchased before the end of June last year to apply for funding.
Last year, the committee determined that Huawei and ZTE constitute a national security threat to the US communications network. American companies cannot use government funding to purchase equipment from Huawei or ZTE. It refers to the high risk of equipment being controlled by external parties and stipulates that companies must destroy and remove their equipment.

Huawei equipment quality still insufficient says UK
Huawei has made “no overall improvement” in its software engineering and cyber security quality three years after it promised to fix systemic problems, according to the UK body that monitors its equipment.
The annual report from the Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Centre (HCSEC) said that despite “sustained progress” by the Chinese company in resolving historic issues, new problems had been uncovered that indicated that the telecoms equipment maker was still not performing to the industry standard.
Huawei’s role in the UK telecoms market has diminished over the past year after the British government opted to ban the use of new 5G equipment from the Chinese company from the end of 2020. It also set a seven-year phaseout plan for kit that had already been installed.

Opinion: Canada needs a new engagement strategy that opposes China’s thuggery
//The 11-year prison sentence handed to Michael Spavor is just the latest example of the ruthlessness of China’s efforts to put pressure on the Canadian government, and in turn on the U.S. administration, to return Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou. As The Washington Post’s editorial board wrote on Aug. 13: “China’s kangaroo courts operate in service to the country’s Communist Party and its leader, Xi Jinping, whose contempt for international standards of law and justice is manifest.” As Times Wang outlined in The Globe last week, Canadians should refuse to recognize China’s “justice” system.//

Canadian Media: the US Talks to Huawei about Letting Meng Wanzhou Return to China Without Mentioning the Release of the 2 Canadians
In 2018, the US alleged Huawei’s Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanchou involving in bank fraud and violating sanctions against Iran, and asked Canada to arrest her. After Canada arresting her, China detained two Canadians, Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, accusing them of espionage. Foreign media stated this as “hostage politics”.
Arrested in 2018 but still have no decision on the extradition
The event originated from the US Department of Justice, alleging that Meng Wanchou was involved in HSBC bank fraud, which made HSBC at risk of violating US sanctions against Iran. The US asked Canada to extradite Meng to the US for trial. In December 2018, Canada arrested Meng Wanchou at the request of the United States, but whether she will be extradited to the US for trial will still be subject to a hearing.

China played dirty to get Huawei’s 'princess' back — too dirty even to tell its own people
Family and supporters of two diplomatic hostages held in China for almost three years have celebrated their arrival home in Canada, as the woman they were traded for, Meng Wanzhou, was given a hero's welcome in the city of Shenzhen.
The trio's return to their respective homes caps a historic three-year standoff between the world's two superpowers, with Canada and the Chinese company Huawei caught in the middle.
Upon arriving home to Calgary, one of the two Canadians Michael Kovrig said "It’s fantastic to be back home in Canada".

How China spies on the West
In December last year Oxford University students were offered £15,000 in prize money if they could solve challenges relating to the surveillance and tracking of devices and their users.
‘Huawei welcomes a selection of top-of-the-class students to their 2021 University Challenge’, the invitations read. The company added that the technology would be used for ‘business intelligence’ and ‘security services’.

Huawei is sanctioned by the US with a fall in profit, believing lacking a key factor.
#Mengwenzhou, the deputy chairwoman and CFO of #Huawei, once again showed up at the group performance meeting after returning to #China.
Under the #US sanction on Huawei and the shortage of chips, Huawei's income in the previous year was reduced by almost 30%, to around 637 billion dollars (in RMB, same below). It is the first fall in the revenue since the record was publicised.
Last year's net profit raised by 75.9%, to 113.7 billion dollars, in which, the sale of a smartphone department to a government-led consortium took account of around 57.4 billion dollars. With a subsidy of 2.57 billion dollars from the government, a total of 60.8 billion dollars of other income was recorded, increasing 87 times from the previous year, being the reason for net profit.
With the deduction of the other income, the net profit was slightly higher than 52.9 billion dollars, reduced by almost 20% year-to-year.
According to the data from a market research organisation, Omdia, Huawei shipped 35 million smartphones only, which plunged by 81.6% from the previous year. The market share fell from 14.7% in 2020 to 2.6% in 2021.
Huawei's consumer business resulted in a hit, and the revenue was reduced by 49.6% from last year to 243.4 billion dollars.

FBI investigation determined Chinese-made #Huawei equipment could disrupt US nuclear arsenal communications

Lawmakers urge more scrutiny of Chinese firms in wake of charges
Members of Congress are urging more scrutiny of Chinese companies in the U.S. after the Justice Department this week announced that two Chinese agents sought to obstruct prosecution of a telecommunications company reported to be Huawei Technologies.
The criminal charges unsealed Monday against the two Chinese intelligence officers are the latest twist in the case against the company, which the department indicted in 2020 for federal racketeering and conspiring to steal U.S. companies’ trade secrets. The Justice Department described the company as “a global telecommunications company that is a charged defendant in an ongoing prosecution.” The New York Times reported that the company was Huawei.

Images from over 700 surveillance cameras in Taiwan leaked, all using Huawei chips
The Taiwanese media has reported that over 700 private surveillance cameras have been leaked live on websites such as Insecam. The leaked footage included postnatal care homes, clinics, some homes' entrances, living rooms and even bedrooms, all of which had one thing in common: the cameras used Huawei chips.
A bun shop owner in the Datong district of Taipei City said that she was scared to see the images of her shop on the internet. She never thought that these images would be made public, and the thought of being watched at work made her feel uncomfortable. The surveillance cameras used in these leaked locations all have Huawei chips built into them, most of which are HiSilicon Hi3516 chips.
