I don't know what you're talking about with "allegedly".
Bloomberg "allegedly" found HW backdoors in huawei, Vodafone also "allegedly" found backdoors in their equipment from huawei back in the day(i think about a decade ago).
When you go talk to your red-team pentester friends, you quickly find out that the black market is full of 0days or full-blown backdoors for huawei equipment, from routers to consumer-grade mobile phones.They're not the only ones, but there's a clear discrepancy.
While in the consumer space Huawei might not be ever fully-banned (imo even though they should, because people are f*cking stupid and it's already too late), in gov & military(especially NATO) infrastructure, i'm guaranteeing they're already(US,AUS,JP,PL,RO) or soon to be banned.
Now the what-about argument is gonna follow here, saying "how about western companies that also engage in privacy-violating and espionage policies?".Yes that's also obviously true, but to a much lesser degree, and those companies/corporations main concern is money&profit,unlike Huawei.They might collude with governments and institutions, but they're not fully controlled by one, like in the fascistic China at the moment.And i say fascistic because chinese companies conveniently use 'free'-markets inside China and Western countries up to the point where their gov. notices and dictates their every move.
