Huawei’s Yearslong Rise Is Littered With Accusations of Theft and Dubious Ethics - WSJ
Along the way, Huawei has been dogged by allegations that its gains came on the back of copying and theft. A review of 10 cases in U.S. federal courts, and dozens of interviews with U.S. officials, former employees, competitors, and collaborators suggest Huawei had a corporate culture that blurred the boundary between competitive achievement and ethically dubious methods of pursuing it.
Devastating report.

Military Chain of Command Under New Scrutiny in Assault Cases - WSJ
“Ultimately commanders need to own it. They need to be more prepared, more accountable, more equipped, but they still need to own it,” Ms. McSally told reporters earlier this month. “Stripping that away from them and outsourcing it someone else, from my very strong view as a survivor and as a commander, is going to take our eye off the ball.”
I agree with Sen. McSally. I’ve never understood Commanders’ reluctance to handle this. They have access to federal law enforcement investigators (AFOSI, NCIS, CID). Receive the complaint, bring in investigators, act on findings. Violent criminals have no place in uniform or anywhere near our defense apparatus. Commanders who don’t enforce disipline and the UCMJ in their commands need to be held accountable for their failure of leadership.
