while Huawei just stole the results of Nortel’s R&D and then had CCP subsidies for the production.

China requires that all companies entering their market share their technology with Chinese firms, any company planning to enter the Chinese market know that.

In other words, Nortel (and others companies who set shop in China) willingly shared their tech with China in exchange for being allowed to operate in the country, so saying China stole the technology is extremely dishonest.
