#3When AT&T has so willingly handed over call data to the U.S. intelligence agencies for decades, even assisting in the analysis of said data, I have to question the assault on Huawei by U.S. media.

#4I have personally decided to avoid buying 'Made in China' products whenever it's possible. It's hard, but I don't want to support their work conditions or predatory geoeconomics in any way.

If you equate AT&T's said practices with Huawei's practices, then you just answered your own question. The Chinese Communist Party is not friend of freedom, nor of free journalism.

Because one is a not totally un-hostile foreign government, and the other is not.

This is a more extreme position than many people are comfortable taking (and is perhaps not reasonable or consistent), but it is a fair position to take, and is not expressed in an inflammatory or demeaning way.
Please do not kill this comment; I think it is a good seed for discussion relevant to the article (should the US ban Huawei because it is controlled by the (adversarial) Chinese government? If so, what's the cutoff for 'controlled by the government'?). I say this because it had been killed just moments after being posted, and I think that was unwarranted.

Nor is the US, If you think otherwise, think about what happend to Assange.

While both are reprehensible behavior, supply information to the US government and being fundamentally linked with the Chinese Communist government aren't even close. It's like comparing a school yard bully to a serial killer. Political dissenters don't disappear when AT&T shares information with the FBI.
We really need to question how so many Westerners have gotten to a point that they some how see an equivalence.

"Hard" seems understated in this case. I imagine there are whole categories of products where at least one important subsystem is made in China. Can I buy a car with zero chance that any of the electronics were made or assembled in China? Similar for phones, computers.
