Liu Zuohu, better known as Pete Lau, is the co-founder and CEO of OnePlus, a position he has held since the company's founding in 2013. Recently, however, he has come under scrutiny as Taiwanese prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant against him, alleging illegal hiring practices.
The Shilin District Prosecutors' Office in Taiwan announced on Tuesday that two local individuals have been indicted for assisting Lau in these employment actions. Prosecutors claim that under Lau's leadership, OnePlus hired over 70 engineers in Taiwan for software development and testing purposes.
The hiring occurred without the required government approval, thereby contravening the "Cross-Strait Act" governing relations between China and Taiwan. As of now, neither Lau nor OnePlus has released an official response regarding the allegations.
