That is just part 2. It was preceded by a part 1 : a negative PR campaign run for many months before, to make sure the public would approve going again Huawei.

It was very evident here on HN.
Governments uniting to kill a foreign company. What is the WTO doing? (lol)
- mips_avatar 8y agoI think if the public knew what was really going on they would be much more concerned about Huawei. Western companies are getting bombarded by cyber attacks from china and the companies hide these breaches because it would be bad PR for it to get out. A network device isn’t a commodity, the manufactures can place backdoors into them that are almost invisible. I don’t think the WTO is equipped to handle this. They can’t even handle the IP theft lawsuits against china.

This is sarcasm? China runs perpetually in flagrant violation of the entire set of rules. Doing business in China requires participation by local entities, giving up IP to the gov., state-sponsorhip of direct competition - the list goes on. If we were to do a tit-for-tat on those things alone, very few Chinese firms would be allowed to operate here. So we'll buy plastic stuff, not silicon stuff.
