Huawei on Trial Sees Chen Follow My Lead TIP Summit Email New Book Published for UNGA

  The same was said, or claimed, in the Southern District of New York in the UN corruption trials of CCP-member Ng Lap Seng, and CCP-NGO boss Patrick Ho of the China Energy Fund Committee. Both were convicted. But is Huawei different?

On September 9 Inner City Press put out a 20 tweet thread of the opening arguments, on X and Bluesky.

Jump cut to September 17 - Inner City Press published the video of Huawei staff's theft from T-Mobile, here; it published the first book, "Huawei on Trial," here.

The book contains testimony now evidenced in an email where Huawei's Sean Chen told Jesse Hong and Sam Pooni, "just follw my lead" in contravention of policy, and "you'll be fine." True then - and not now? Email chain on Patreon here.

On September 17 Inner City Press live tweeted from EDNY, here

T-Mobile manager of "Tappy" robot on the stand. Huawei's Brian Heberlig of Steptoe: The "missed touch" issue wasn't limited to Huawei, was it? TMO witness: I didn't deal with failure, only improving Heberlig: Didn't T-Mobile give out one of its rubber tips?

 TMO witness: I'm not sure. Huawei's Heberlig: Let me show you your own email. AUSA: Objection! Judge Donnelly: Overruled. But only to the witness. Heberlig: Do you see your email with Bill Weavers of the company that built Huawei's touchscreens, Synaptics?

TMO witness: I see it... Huawei's Heberlig: Let me show you the attached video AUSA: Objection! Judge Donnelly: I'll allow it. [Video is shown of a metal tip testing a screen] Heberlig: Isn't that copper? TMO witness: I don't know. Could be aluminum

 Huawei's Heberlig: The email says "Buddy" - isn't that the name of Huawei's prototype? TMO witness: He could just be calling me that.
