HUAWEI accuses US of cyberattacks, employee harassment, but supplies no evidence
June 03, 2025
Towards the end of August,The Wall Street Journalpublishedan articlethat focused on allegations of patent infringement against Chinese smartphone manufacturer HUAWEI. Today, the companypublished a press releasein response to that article, in which it defends itself against the accusations.
However, at the end of the press release, HUAWEI moves on from the patent dispute and instead lists out nine very serious accusations against the United States government. The accusations include cyberattacks, employee harassment by FBI agents, and obstruction of legal business operations.
Although the press release provides a few pieces of evidence in defense of the patent infringement accusations pointed out byThe Wall Street Journal, no evidence is supplied for the nine accusations against the U.S.
The nine accusations are listed here in an unedited form:
After listing out these accusations, HUAWEI then declares that “none of HUAWEI’s core technology has been the subject of any criminal case brought against the company” and “none of the accusations levied by the U.S. government have been supported with sufficient evidence.”

The press release is a strange move from the company, considering it is tacking on some pretty serious statements related tothe HUAWEI banonto what is an otherwise-unrelated response to a patent dispute.
However, HUAWEI is in a precarious position at the moment. In a little over two weeks, it is scheduled to launch one of the most important smartphones of the year — theHUAWEI Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro— which may or may not launch with an official version of Android. The company will need to drastically re-evaluate how it conducts business around the world if it cannot figure out a way to take itself off the U.S. government’s Entity List.
