The article is just a huge gaslighting piece. The U.S. was trying to reduce exposure to Huawei equipment in U.S. and allied Critical Infrastructure. The Chinese government and intelligence services were using the equipment for espionage. Huawei was dumping (economic term for selling below market home price or sometimes manufacturing cost) 5G equipment on U.S. telecoms.
China already had good success with a similar model dumping large power equipment on regional utilities in the U.S. to the point where it's no longer economically feasible for it to be removed, and the U.S. was forced to pivot to attempting to mitigate (vs. eliminate) the risk.
