Huawei was the only one that circumvented the password policy from KPN, which is the telecom provider of > 50% of phone infrastructure in the Netherlands ( including government).

The audit was from 2009 and was an internal security audit that got leaked. It's specifically about Huawei.

Just because a policy on passwords or root access was broken, it doesn't mean that it was nefarious (as implied here - eavesdropping etc.).
It's explicitly forbidden when working with a large telecom provider in the EU
