Huawei Gets Closer to Nasdaq China's controversial military-backed telecoms equipment maker Huawei Technologies could be making a bid for a back-door listing in the United States after forming a partnership with a company whose shares trade on the loosely-regulated bulletin board of the Nasdaq stock exchange. Esoftbank Shenzhen, a software-systems firm based in southern China, said in late June that it would team up with Huawei to tap the software outsourcing market in the telecoms sector in China and abroad. So far, the deal does not involve any commitment of capital from Huawei, but industry sources say both sides are considering such a move. Huawei's plans for its own U.S. listing have been put off after controversy erupted in March over the company's provision of telecoms equipment to Iraq. Esoftbank's history is no less controversial. In its former guise as Natural Way Technologies, the company was implicated in the campaign-funds scandal in the U.S. under former President Bill Clinton.
