Huawei Technologies, which on March 7 slapped the US government with a lawsuit in a bid to overturn a federal ban on its gear, also accused the US of previously hacking into its servers though it provided no fresh evidence to support the charge.

“The US government has long branded Huawei a threat. It has hacked our servers and stolen our emails and source code,” Guo Ping, Huawei’s rotating chairman, said in a press conference in Shenzhen on Thursday to announce the lawsuit against the US.
