This is a claim that emerged a decade after Nortel collapsed, but it makes no sense. First, recall that Nortel collapsed because of its own bad investments during the Dot Com Bubble, followed by an accounting scandal. Second, Huawei was barely even on the scene yet when Nortel collapsed. Huawei was still operating almost entirely inside China at the time. It wasn't Nortel's major competitor.
