Everyone in the West knows MIT. That's a clue the Reuters headline target audience is in the East.
They know MIT in China too. They don't read Reuters much though.

So... you don't think MIT is in the top tier?
Surely that depends on how many schools you think the top tier should include. I don't think it's #1. But as Armisael16 says, I think it's strange that Reuters had to qualify it as an "elite US school", implying that it isn't one. What would you think of a news article beginning "The Pope, a prominent religious leader, ..."?

What’s #1 then? :)
In terms of academic excellence? Cal Tech.

Is there evidence they are? I don't trust Huawei all that much, rather I think whatever alternatives might also be whoever's operatives.
As a matter of government policy, all Chinese companies are government operatives. The Communist Party claims "overall leadership over all areas of endeavour in every part of the country".

In terms of prestige? Harvard. In terms of academic excellence? Cal Tech.
Jokes aside, why not include MIT or UChicago? The former is arguably a bigger Caltech, and the latter is extremely rigorous, even if not focused on engineering.
Is there any evidence that these two companies aren’t Chinese government operatives?
I wonder if US carriers can start discouraging consumers from using Huawei, ZTE cellphones. They know the IMEI numbers.
How would this work? A monthly ZTE surcharge? The consumer already bought the phone. Retroactively punishing them when they already gave money to ZTE isn't the right solution. Just ban new phones from joining the networks.
Source: Work in phone repair. We don't repair phones that cost 100USD new and have a non-existant parts market.
It could be argued that if the news needs to introduce you as "an elite US school", you aren't really an elite school. That's an odd conclusion to draw about MIT though. Who's the target audience here? MIT really is internationally known.
