Have you read "Paranoidi optimisti" by Risto Siilasmaa? All the big problems software wise were cause by Symbian. "Unfortunately, this was only the tip of the iceberg. Siilasmaa later learned that the overall build time of Symbian was two weeks." https://www.flashover.blog/posts/technical-debt/
Edit: it seems the compilation time was 2 days in that article, I wonder what the rest was.

There's a frozen civil war in China. The government is obviously touchy about other countries recognizing what it views as a breakaway province. China views such recognition as meddling in its internal affairs. In Western news coverage, though, I see precisely the opposite of what you see. Taiwan is often listed as an example to follow, while China's combating of the epidemic is largely ignored. A lot of people even…
a) It's not Western news coverage but international. b) No one believes anything China has to say because they have a history of coverups and suppression. c) The lack of an independent press or judiciary means we don't have mechanisms to independently assess the truth.
You can also look coverage by Western press in China. A German-French public broadcaster did a report from Wuhan not too long ago that shows how different the situation is there from Europe and the US: [1,2].
By the way, documents from Hubei province have leaked, and the number of people testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 in internal government records roughly matches the numbers that were published each day.

Not surprising after I saw how many R&D offices Huawei has in Europe. They basically placed their offices right across their competitors like Ericsson, Nokia, Imagination, etc. to the point that in every European Tech hub you will find a Huawei office.
I do not know why you are down voted... I have seen Huawei from the inside and the number of devs and first grade researchers is staggering. The researchers get payed very well, but what (to those I met) was even more important: they get all the assistance they want, plus 1. As one of them told me "I hate doing things twice. I now do not have to. I think of something, try to get it to work and I am done. The grinding…

It was largely BS to justify the pivot to Windows phone. Jolla demonstrated that the problems with Meego could be solved with far fewer resources than Nokia put into their pointless Windows phone migration.

If a state actor really wants to do it and someone could get it past reviews, I am sure they could bribe any contributor from any country (including US). Why single out China? We never raised concerns with Russian contributors.
Maybe not single out China, but many people think China is particularly untrustworthy: they insist Chinese law is used outside China, and lecture people how they should refer to China in public; they operate concentration camps; the Chinese language has no word for *mutuality*, China benefits from free speech and access to institutions in the West but doesn't allow the same in China for journalists or businessmen; Ch…
That is such a ridiculous claim considering that Xi Jinping strengthened his power through anti-corruption efforts:

And, instead of adopting Windows for future Macs, Apple was going all-in on Solaris.
And, Steve Jobs had just stepped down as interim CEO, and his replacement just happened to be a former Sun Microsystems executive.
And, Apple's investors were apparently okay with this.

Seems ironic for a Chinese tech organization to hold boatloads of patents...
A lot of Chinese firms knowingly violates IP laws in the past, because they understand there is not enough resources to enforce them. Additionally, Chinese government has been very open about the plan to enforce IP laws gradually to the same standard as the global market. A good balance has been played to allow rapid advancement without provoking the more advanced economies.

This is what happens when business strategy spans decades and not from one quarterly report to another.
