Here’s another side of it. When Huawei deployed their equipment previously with at least one big telecom it’s equipment worked so badly that they sent a boatload of engineers onsite to fix it all and as far as I know they did. Now imagine all the systems, schematics, blueprints and locations these engineers touched or at least gained knowledge about. Even without a backdoor in this knowledge would probably be a hacker group’s wet dream if they wanted to plant themselves inside a telco.

Eh, this is getting silly. There are Chinese nationals working in the West, obviously they see how systems are made. Then they can go back and build something similar based on their knowledge - you can't copyright someone's brain. I keep thinking that if, hypothetically, i would be in charge of a developing economy, I would not recognise foreign copyright and patents untill the country can catch up, at least on medicine and software. Especially the idea that breaking copyright is a crime and not a civil offence is an absurdity

  This is exactly what has always been done. US did to UK, Japan did to Germany, now China is did/is doing to US. Copyrights and patents only come to the table when they get useful.
