In January 2019, the United States filed criminal charges against Huawei for ``theft of information from American companies and trading with Iranian companies in violation of Iranian sanctions.'' The prosecution has been filed against Huawei and two affiliates for 13 illegal acts, and Christopher Wray, director of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) , said, ``This criminal prosecution is based on the fact that Huawei is an American company. It exposes the shameless barbarity of exploiting financial institutions and threatening fair and equitable market transactions.'

In connection with the US criminal prosecution against Huawei, two suspected Chinese spies were indicted in Brooklyn, New York on October 21, 2022, and the indictment was published on the 24th. Two suspects, Guochun He and Zheng Wang, were named in it, both of whom are alleged to have orchestrated a plot to steal files and other information from the federal prosecutor's office. The indictment says the plans are 'related to federal criminal investigations and prosecutions against a China-based global telecommunications company,' but does not mention Huawei in the indictment. . However, according to THE WALL STREET JOURNAL , a person familiar with the case has confirmed that it is a case involving Huawei, which is believed to be related to the prosecution beginning in 2019.

According to the indictment, He and Wang began working in early 2017 and deepened their relationship with 'US law enforcement officials who pretended to be Chinese spies and actually acted as double spies for the US government.' That's right. The details of the case have come to light because an enforcement agent who spied with the defendant was a double agent with ties to the U.S. government, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The indictment also reveals that He and Wang paid thousands to tens of thousands of dollars in bitcoin, cash, and jewelry as bribes to double agents during the spying.



Three arrests and indictments of suspected Chinese spies have been announced for 13 individuals in quick succession, including the cases of He and Wang, who are said to be related to Huawei. FBI Director Wray said, 'Though the three incidents may seem unrelated, they all reveal flagrant violations of international law by the Chinese government.' 'In not just this case, but in thousands of other cases, we find that the Chinese government is threatening established democratic norms and the rule of law.'

U.S. federal law enforcement agencies have been grappling with national security threats posed by China for years, and US Attorney Brion Pease said, 'Today's complaint calls for the Chinese government to undermine the rule of law. It underscores our relentless efforts,' the indictment said. At a press conference announcing the indictment, Attorney General Merrick Garland said, 'This is a nefarious attempt by China's intelligence services to evade accountability for China-based companies and undermine the integrity of the judicial system. It is.'
