    All this controversy over Huawei and whether they will be banned or not makes me wonder....is there any actual evidence that they have been spying for China?

    Wouldn't be hugely surprisingly if true, but according to this so far the evidence is rather weak:

    On the other hand we know from the Snowden leaks among others that the U.S. government uses American tech companies for exactly this purpose. Going so far as to collect data about millions of average users even in friendly countries like in Europe.

    So the U.S. is going to ban Huawei and declare a national security emergency...for allegedly doing exactly what the U.S. itself does? Is it actually about spying more about competition over who can dominate 5G?

    You would think this would be a logical thing for the press to point out when covering the Huawei story, but so far I haven't seen it mentioned a single time.
