Victim but they make very fast 5G equipment https://youtube.com/shorts/izXpJzqn93k
- 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.
  
  Interesting story. I wonder what would have happened if Nortel produced the phones in Canada.
  
  Nortel wasn't killed by Huawei stealing their IP, which certainly did happen. They tanked themselves with some terrible accounting that hid the terrible situation they put themselves in. Nortel and Enron are the reason GAAP is the gold standard and legally required to be reported these days.
  
  Hmm; I wish the mods told me why they removed my comment so I don’t do it again.
- I love how easily racists are manipulated

The company produces spyware garbage so...
- Name a major tech company that doesn't. 🙄
  
  Apparently, its only okay to make spyware when its made by a US or European company
  EDIT: Just want to point out that that's not what OP said, it's just a trend I often see around the Lemmy community
- You wish you had their 5G gear though https://youtube.com/shorts/izXpJzqn93k
