"This is a massive indictment of a company that has been a pioneer in the field of cybersecurity and innovation for 15 years," said Michael Korsgaard, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "These indictments bring to light evidence of a culture of deception and the willful neglect of the public's best interests by Huawei that has been the subject of constant and significant debate."

The US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York's office has been conducting a series of investigations since Trump took office, including a probe into the Huawei hacking to determine whether the company had an active role in the election interference.

"We have a great deal of concern about Huawei and its corporate-bashing activities," said Steve Wolin, a senior technology law expert and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Center for Cybersecurity Policy in Washington.

The US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York also has launched an ongoing probe into Huawei's financial activity, including a probe into the company's purchase of U.S.-based cell phone company T-Mobile.

Hao has faced growing criticism for using his position as Huawei's senior executive officer to steer the company's corporate-bashing efforts. He has also been accused of violating business and government secrecy laws that, he has said, are based on personal conduct by his company employees.

Huawei has denied any wrongdoing, and T-Mobile said in a statement Monday that it has "no problem" with the charges filed in the US.
