NEW YORK -- A former employee at Huawei Technologies has accused the Chinese company of attempting to steal technology he developed, by using a lawsuit to extract excessive information from a U.S.-based venture he co-founded.
In a filing with a federal court in Texas last week, Yiren Ronnie Huang argued through his lawyer that Huawei used the legal process for the suit it had filed against him last December as a "red herring" to distract from its own technology theft, citing reports of Huawei's espionage activities on behalf of the Chinese government.
