Li Hongyuan Incident, or commonly cited as “Huawei 251”[1][2] on Chinese Internet, refers to a 251-day unjustifiable detaintion and arrest without indictment of Li Hongyuan, a former employee of Huawei Co., Limited. Li had a labor dispute with Huawei and was detained for investigations on embezzlement, breach of confidentiality, and coercion from 16 December 2018 till 23 August 2019 due to Huawei's accusation. After the exposure of details in late November 2019, it caused huge criticism towards Huawei and Chinese law enforcing authorities, while the Communist Youth League of China and Chinese left-wing nationalists accused that the incident was manupulated by the United States.
