OnePlus might be starting off the year with a minus-one from their ranks. Taiwan has issued an arrest warrant for the brand’s CEO Pete Lau for allegedly employing Taiwanese workers illegally.

It’s a shocker of a headline in the first few weeks of 2026. According to Taiwan News, Lau created a new company in Hong Kong with two conspirators surnamed Lin and Cheng. The company was allegedly a shell company to expand OnePlus operations elsewhere. It eventually established a branch in Taiwan.

Between 2015 and 2021, the company supposedly shipped around US$ 72.93 million to the Taiwanese branch for the staff recruitment of over 70 engineers from the country. According to Lin and Cheng, who have both been charged by Taiwanese courts already, the Taiwan branch’s purpose was only to conduct research and development for OnePlus. Others have also alleged that the branch developed software for both OnePlus and OPPO.

As such, Taiwan has issued a warrant for Pete Lau. Because of the long-standing tensions between Taiwan and China, Lau is facing a heavy issue. Both his alleged conspirators have been charged with violations of the Cross-Strait Act, which pertains to the relationship between the two countries.
