Isn't this the exact thing that China has in law that is causing everyone to dump Huawei over?

  This is probably the reason they want to dump Huawei. Much easier to subvert technology produced locally or in allied countries (and the other Five Eyes members will undoubtedly adopt similar laws soon, if they haven't already).

    > other Five Eyes members will undoubtedly adopt similar laws soon, if they haven't already Exactly. For those getting wound up over this in other western countries - Australia is often used as a testing ground for this kind of legislation. It will be your country next.

  The Chinese legislation you refer to is much more expansive in scope as it is not limited to "communications providers". Refer to [1] and [2].
