The answer is yes, they are able to. If we got into Huawei, the Chinese government could too (if they wanted to).
I really dislike the "we have to spy on them because they might spy on us" argument. Especially when we point fingers at how everyone else is doing wrong and then come back and while forgetting when we have committed the same wrongs and while we are still committing those wrongs.
We give billions of dollars in aid to Israel, who refuses to stop expanding their settlements into Palestinian territory. We condemn Russia for reclaiming land that was theirs not so long ago, land that has more Russians than Ukrainians living there.
The hypocrisy is starting to drive me insane.
