US judge dismisses indictment against Huawei CFO

A US judge on Friday dismissed the indictment against Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies Co., officially ending the criminal sanctions case that has strained US-China relations. Meng, the managing director of the telecommunications company whose father Ren Zhengfei founded Huawei, signed an agreement with US prosecutors last year to drop the case, four years after his arrest in December 2018.

Germany not planning comprehensive Huawei ban

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Economy said on Friday that Germany does not want to follow the US, which generally bans products made by Chinese telecom equipment manufacturers such as Huawei, but will continue to make such decisions on a case-by-case basis. Berlin's relationship with Beijing has come under close scrutiny since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which exposed the German economy's dependence on Russia for energy and made officials wary of a similar dependence on China for trade. Germany has come under special pressure to take action against Chinese telecom equipment manufacturers after the US administration this week banned new equipment approvals from Huawei and ZTE because they pose an "unacceptable risk" to US national security. A German Ministry of Economy strat...

US prosecutors asked a judge on Thursday (December 1st) to dismiss bank fraud and other charges against Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Chinese Huawei Technologies, whose arrest in 2018 has strained relations between the US and China.

Huawei, a telecommunications equipment manufacturer that the US considers a national...
