The trial on charges of conspiracy to commit extortion against the Chinese technology company Huawei Technologies commenced on Wednesday in New York, where federal prosecutors alleged that the Chinese corporation had committed a series of crimes, including stealing technology from American companies, exploiting the U.S. financial system, and assisting Iran in surveilling its own citizens.

Huawei is the world's largest supplier of wireless telecommunications network equipment, yet it is barred from selling its equipment to American carriers owing to concerns that it poses a security risk.

Taylor Stout, a Justice Department attorney, began presenting to a Brooklyn jury the government's allegation that Huawei had committed multiple crimes over a span of 20 years.

However, defense attorney Brian Heberlig dismissed the charges, arguing that prosecutors were portraying the company and its three subsidiaries as a corrupt criminal enterprise based on anecdotes about a handful of employees stationed in 170 countries out of roughly 200,000 Huawei staff, along with a few instances of misconduct.

Haverigg stated that there was "no blueprint for crime," and pointed out that the jurors must bear in mind that "there are real people in this case whose careers and integrity have been put at risk."

The first witness called by the prosecution was Parham Baheshti, who grew up in Iran but moved to the United States for his studies and acquired American citizenship in 2000.

Baheshti, who returned to Iran in 2003 to live near his wife's family, testified that while working in 2009 at a small but rapidly growing company that was bringing internet access to remote areas of Iran, he learned about this technology giant and subsequently provided the U.S. government with secrets concerning its dealings with Huawei.

Baheshti mentioned that although he was encouraged by the attempt to provide internet access to small cities in Iran, he became convinced that Huawei would not offer any substantive assistance.

He said that during a meeting with Huawei employees, he "became furious" when he realized that the Chinese company was making a proposal "to analyze the Iranian people and their online behavior."

Baheshti stated that in 2011, upon learning that he was under investigation, he left Iran.

In the revised statement, Haberig said that the jurors would see through the prosecution's unreliable witnesses and come to recognize that "the government's claims don't hold up."

He scoffed at the prosecution's plan to present in court evidence that a Huawei employee had taken photos of a competitor's products at a trade fair event, and said the government had failed to mention that Huawei had immediately fired the employee for "foolish behavior."

While stating that this does not prove a "company-wide conspiracy," Haberig attributed Huawei's remarkable growth to its success in engineering, investment, innovation, and competition.
