This statement is completely wrong.

Huawei is a legitimate threat from a country that doesn't have the same checks and balances as other countries e.g. free media, robust judiciary, democracy.

And it's not like network providers are specifically trying to secure their platform against Huawei. It's against anyone.

The internal structure of a country is not a good predictor of its foreign policy. How countries act foreign policy wise is very simple - they will attempt to achieve the most advantageous positions for themselves, without regard for you (unless you can help them, of course).

It doesn't matter if you're dealing with a dictatorship or a democracy when it comes to foreign policy. Both will kill you.

But the US had all those things and still spied on everyone’s networks... but we should keep following that logic?
