    Thing is, Huawei had a shitload of connections with the CCP. We’re speaking about funding, the owner was ex CCP, etc. It’s very much not like Xiaomi which is more a Chinese private company (with funding from companies like Qualcomm).

      One more reason I’m proud to be an American, where our tech companies have no ties or connections to the government.

      So is basically every American tech company. I think its safe to assume that government has access of some sort to any entities that are physically present there be it US, China, India or France. US has some scary gag laws that make whistleblowing almost impossible. Just look at Snowden and PRISM.
