¯ Huawei Technologies, which is one of the world’s largest 5G equipment and smartphone makers, announced Tuesday that employees will receive bonuses for helping to resist Trump.

A Wall Street Journal investigation found that Huawei employees helped governments in Uganda and Zambia spy on political opponents.
