One obvious fact is that the American campaign against Huawei is motivated by nationalistic hate. A second obvious fact is that no American company is competitive with Huawei in manufacturing the infrastructure needed for 5g networks.
Another apparent fact is that the most substantial allegation against Huawei for stealing intellectual property relates to some Cisco code that is used for some kind of function in internet routers. The dispute over that allegation was settled through the rule of law in a negotiated settlement between Cisco and Huawei.
Apparently Huawei removed the stolen code from its products. The bigger picture is an American government that thinks it runs the world and that it can enforce its American supremacy through economic sanctions against any nation it does not like Huawei's success is a major threat to that global dominance.
Another obvious fact is that Huawei's success spans a wide range of computer based technologies that have a long history of conflicts over intellectual property. On the scale of that history the allegations against Huawei are relatively modest.
Another very obvious fact is that security is a very large very real issue with all computer equipment. Intentional back doors are a modest to minor part of that issue. None of the attacks on Huawei have made any attempt to compare Huawei's products and Huawei's problem record with any other potential provider of networking equipment.
Another real fact is the possibility of identifying unattractive elements of Chinese behavior. But, the same is true of the long history of global aggression and destruction by Western European people and their colonies. The world faces a big choice. One possibility is the difficult process of constructive economic relationships between the world's diverse societies with their different political and economic systems. The other choice is isolating the United States from any society that will not accept American dominance.
Huawei and the Chinese are positioning themselves for the constructive choice. American supremacists prefer economic war to any kind of constructive relationship with any society that refuses to accept their dominance. They don't care about the economic consequences to the United States or anyone else. Their obsession is with some kind of holy war that establishes their own glory.
Anyone who prefers a constructive path to the future should take Huawei up on their agenda of settling conflicts through the rule of law and establishing standard technical processes that can improve the security of computer equipment from the full range of criminal threats.
