I'd be throwing my phone in the trash right about now. I would venture to guess all Huawei data is going to China.

Good point. Water is not wet in its frozen state. One could easily make the argument that the majority of water in the universe is not wet.
Except for it is called ice.
Ice is frozen water. Steam is gaseous water. Water is liquid water. They're all water. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water#States

Most of this is not stealing, but instead copying and spying.
Curious pattern here where knowledge of secrets is considered stealing or not stealing depending on the subject. I wonder if it's just different people reading or if the community itself views it differently. After all, "it's not stealing if you have your copy" does mean parent is right.
Agree/disagree is not the only factor involved in voting - another one that I suspect is in play here is “interesting/uninteresting in the context of the present discussion”.

#36wasn't samsung's foldable tech stolen as well? makes sense considering how fast huawei was able to get it.
I dunno. The Huawei foldable looked considerably different as far as the tech, and it fold the other direction. I think it's going to have even worse issues than the Samsung if it ever actually gets released.

#37It's well known in the telecom/internet infrastructure business that Huawei: a) bugged the hell out of Nortel's ottawa area offices, both physically, by rootkit, and by getting their own people hired to physically smuggle out documents and design data b) Copied the entire DWDM / optical transport product line c) Released a nearly identical product a few years later, and sold it at a ridiculously low price, effectivel…
But, I mean, other than that, what do you have on them?

Interesting - in silicon valley Huawei has a building just a short distance from both Intel and Nvidia's main headquarters.

Seems almost too fast? Reports of the leak were published in November last year [1]. It doesn't say when the leaks took place so unless they were leaked at least year before would it even be possible to construct a foldable phone in that short of a time frame (Feb when Mate X was showcased)?

#40It's built into their culture. There was one time when the lecturer left the classroom during a break in the lecture, the china exchange students swarmed over his laptop, which he did not lock down, inserted USB drives, copied files had lookouts posted at the door etc. It was so shockingly spontaneous. They did not know I was not a student but another lecturer auditing his class.
Later I told him that his laptop was raided and left it up to him to decide whether to pursue it. He just said they have an integrity problem. Later I heard they made it non-examinable for them so they did not feel a need to cheat.
I think it's just built into PRC Chinese culture. Maybe for them repercussions aren't that bad. But Singaporean Chinese stick to the rules pretty much (google no U-turn syndrome)
