Huawei has maintained a long-standing and secretive alliance with a Washington DC-based nonprofit, Optica, amid the US-China tech war. According to communications and documents reviewed by Bloomberg News, this relationship has deepened over decades, even as tensions between the US and China over technology have escalated. A review of internal Optica corporate records shows the alliance ran far deeper than publicly known. The findings expand on a previous Bloomberg report from May, which revealed that Huawei was secretly sponsoring research through this nonprofit. This alliance has raised concerns about national security and the potential for the Chinese government to influence scientific research in the United States.
