Oh, since you put it that way... We should just invite all the world's spies right into the country unimpeeded.

Perhaps we've banned Huawei because they don't allow their phones to be hacked by the US? Nothing the US claims can be relied on, so we should continue looking critically at why the US government wants to block their use rather than take the US' claims at face value.

It's irrelevant whether they are doing it or not right now. Because they could obviously start doing it at any point. And this is a country that makes the US's record on surveillance and human rights look like nothing.

The face value reason is a good enough reason not to allow a rival power’s equipment into the telecom backbone, though.
