There are two ways to stand on another’s shoulders. One is with consent; the other (to mix legal metaphors) is assault. It would be one thing if Huawei said, “do you mind if I use this?” and received permission. But if they had to use deception to gather information, that’s a pretty clear indication that it’s wrong and is done without consent.

  The entire legal system that exists as of today is mainly to benefit rich folks. You should read the book "Code of Capital". The CCP has made it clear that "rule of law" as stated by Mr. Obama is about favoring western capital interests. I think it's a bigger crime that 6 billion people do not get to enjoy the same standard of living as the 2 billion people on top. By having no brittle IP rules, the CCP makes sure Chinese businesses stay dynamic and continue to dominate.

Hypothetically speaking....the no-armies-involved solution would be to ban their products, take possession of their US assets, encourage allies to boycott their products, sue them in foreign courts, and repatriate manufacturing of US-based companies' devices to make the Huawei spying campaign far more difficult.

  > ban their products which ? the cheap phone everybody uses while taking a dump ? > take possession of their US assets. which ? UST bonds ? in the situation you describe, the Chinese supply chain are far more valuable. > encourage allies to boycott their products nobody is stupid enough to allow their teenagers to fight a land war in Asia. > sue them in foreign courts. Sue them where ? Hague ? how does it stop them selling phones to africans / other asians exactly ? > repatriate manufacturing of US-based companies' devices Do you have a 300 million + healthy well educated labour force working for sub 15 dollars an hour ? Good Luck Bro !
