Huawei Bid to Dismiss US Trade Sanction Case Rejected by Judge

Huawei Technologies Co. must face a criminal trial next year in New York after a federal judge refused a request by the Chinese wireless equipment maker to dismiss more than a dozen charges, including racketeering, trade secret theft and violating US sanctions on Iran.

US District Judge Ann Donnelly on Tuesday rejected arguments by China’s largest technology company that there wasn’t enough evidence in the indictment to support 13 of the 16 charges.
