BEIJING, Mar 04 (Reuters): Chinese telecoms equipment company Huawei plans to announce a lawsuit against the United States government on Thursday on grounds related to a defence bill, a source with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
Huawei is preparing to announce that it is suing the US government in a court in Texas by challenging an addition to the US National Defence Authorization Act (NDAA) signed last year, according to the source.
The new NDAA act, which Beijing had condemned as targeting China, controlled US government contracts with Chinese companies including Huawei and strengthened the role of the panel that reviews foreign investment proposals.
