I see a flaw in your flaw.
1st) small chance that spying features are implemented that a paranoid analyzing by US officials wouldn't have revealed* (or that the US would have said the products are good, while still having reasonable concerns about potential spying)
2nd) i don't know how they would give their source code to government officials but i guess it's fair to assume that it can be done in private and trusting nature (also they probably are able to test if a piece of hardware runs the code given or not)
3rd) risk of secretive spying features being found is high * * (even if you want to argue it might be lower than described by myself above -> see 1st), therefore generally would lead to one of the biggest company scandals in the 21st history and completely destroy all of Huawei's business in all of the Western World (not worth it)
* somebody shall correct me if i might be wrong, but wouldn't it be pretty hard to hide spyware in software being used worldwide by millions of users and that is center of attention by governments for a long time
* * think of the amount of Huawei contractors, the sheer quantity of their sales
