Without proof, is Huawei still a national security threat?

The terms "false equivalence" and "whataboutism" and "ridiculous" are just labels and devoid of facts or reasoning.

The truth is that the US is far more imperialistic and murderous than any other nation on earth, including China. Assuming you live in the US, you are blinded by living in the belly of the beast.

edit: Also, if you don't think the US uses data to stamp out dissent, you are simply ignorant. Just look up COINTELPRO, which is just one of many official anti-dissent programs. You could almost say it's the FBI's job to stamp out dissent. And that's not getting into covert information techniques, such as CIA operatives at most major news outlets, and in modern times, social media manipulation.

During US superpower hegemony, the world has seen the least amount of violence in its entire history.

Well US is no longer a superpower hegemony, and violence is still decreasing, so I wouldn't say it's a cause and effect thing.

Actually I would say China is currently far more murderous than the US.

We just don't know the full extent of their "re-education" program but we do know Chinese Muslims and journalists are present there:

Also I am Australian not American so I'm hoping my world view is as clear and educated as yours.
