US charges Huawei with racketeering

BBC World Service - Business Matters, US charges Huawei with racketeering

Chinese tech giant is accused of stealing trade secrets.

The US has expanded its lawsuit against Huawei, accusing the Chinese telecoms giant of a "decades-long" plan to steal technology from US firms. Prosecutors said Huawei had violated the terms of partnerships with US companies and stolen trade secrets such as source code and robot technology. Huawei has denied the claims.

Also in the programme, President Erdogan of Turkey visits Pakistan. Staying in the country, we are exploring why has Pakistan decided not to evacuate its citizens from Wuhan - the Chinese city in the centre of coronavirus outbreak - causing anger among relatives of around 500 Pakistani university students there.

Plus, an in-depth look into debates around an idea of a digital tax. And - how useful is virtual reality in the the workplace?

Presenter Fergus Nicoll is joined by guests Mehmal Sarfraz in Lahore and Paddy Hirsch in Los Angeles
