Huawei Technologies faces a trial in New York.

The trial is about racketeering.

Prosecutors accuse the Chinese tech company of stealing technology.

They say it plotted to steal U.S. trade secrets.

They also say it did wire and bank fraud.

Jury selection started Tuesday afternoon.

Opening statements will start no earlier than Wednesday.

The charges also say Huawei did business in North Korea.

U.S. rules did not allow this.

It says the company put in surveillance equipment.

This equipment helped Iran spy on protesters.

The protests were in 2009.

Huawei tried to stop the case.

It said the charges are not clear.

It said the U.S. has no power over other countries.

The company said the prosecutors' story is "demonstrably false."

It said new ideas and respect for others' work make it successful.

Huawei is the world's biggest maker of wireless network gear.

But it cannot sell equipment to U.S. carriers.

The U.S. fears for its safety.

Canada and Britain also banned the company.

Now it makes chips.

People want more chips for artificial intelligence.

The U.S. announced the criminal charges in early 2019.

Donald Trump was president then.

Prosecutors said Huawei used a Hong Kong company.

The company was Skycom.

It sold equipment to Iran.

This broke the rules.

They also charged its chief financial officer.

Her name is Meng Wanzhou.

They said she lied to HSBC about Iran.

Meng was arrested in Canada in 2018.

She was released in September 2021.

It was a prisoner swap.

China called the U.S. actions "economic bullying."
