If that were the case, the US government would not ban US companies from selling to equipment and software to Huawei.
After all, if all the US were worried about were back doored Huawei equipment (of which there's no evidence), why would it care if Huawei phones in China use Google services?

- DiogenesKynikos 2y agoI'd also like to know how nabbing the Huawei CFO (who also happens to be the daughter of the founder) in Vancouver fits in with just preventing bugged equipment (again, for which there's no evidence) from being installed in US networks. The US has gone after Huawei in such an all-encompassing manner that it's impossible to maintain the fiction that this is just about preventing Huawei from spying on the US (something that Huawei has never done anyways, as far as anyone knows).
