> The FBI asked them to travel to Las Vegas and conduct a meeting with Huawei representatives at last month’s Consumer Electronics Show. Shurboff was outfitted with surveillance devices and recorded the conversation while a Bloomberg Businessweek reporter watched from safe distance. Is this common practice for criminal investigations?
Super long read only to find out at the end, it might be nothing at all.
Yep, this isn't the first story in recent memory from Bloomberg that smells like much ado about NOTHING. What's going on with them?
"They recall the gemologist saying he’d analyzed the diamond glass sample and concluded that Huawei had blasted it with a 100-kilowatt laser, powerful enough to be used as a weapon." What? how can you determine that from a piece of broke glass?
Further tangent: "a piece of broke glass" can exhibit interesting morphology... "mirror", "mist", and "hackle" are distinctive signatures of different fracture conditions.

Well Bloomberg reporters get bonuses based on how much the their stories move the market. Huawei is traded on the Shanghai Exchange so the incentives for the reporter are to make the stock tank (or pop, I guess).
This descriptions does not sound like it's about something that is "virtually unbreakable" : "The sample looked like an ordinary piece of glass, 4 inches square and transparent on both sides. It’d been packed like the precious specimen its inventor, Adam Khan, believed it to be—placed on wax paper, nestled in a tray lined with silicon gel, enclosed in a plastic case, surrounded by air bags, sealed in a cardboard box—…

Except Huawei is not traded publicly.
Is there anything that Huawei does that Western companies don't do, such as trying to steal their competitors secrets? https://www.digitaltrends.com/business/google-sues-uber-over... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-43010348 For any older person this is no news. Didn't we something like this with Hitachi in the 80s? Of course the authorities try to ban purchases from foreign companies that steal American company…

Do you have any evidence of this?

Perhaps the agenda is just negative PR on Huawei.
