A widening battle over technology

China has long been accused by successive U.S. administrations of 
stealing American technology. The Trump White House has escalated the 
accusations further by seeking an international blacklisting of Huawei, 
China’s largest technology company, calling it a front for China’s 
efforts to infiltrate the telecommunications infrastructure of other 
nations for strategic advantage.

The company’s chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, has been detained 
in Canada since December 2018 on an extradition warrant to the United 
States on fraud charges. Last week Britain declared it was siding with 
the United States in barring Huawei products from its high-speed 
wireless network.
