Is there anything that Huawei does that Western companies don't do, such as trying to steal their competitors secrets?

For any older person this is no news. Didn't we something like this with Hitachi in the 80s?

Of course the authorities try to ban purchases from foreign companies that steal American company's secrets, but they don't apply the same rule to American companies that steal other American companies secrets.

They also don't seem so eager to launch sting operations against American companies who aim to steal other American companies secrets.

Why would Huawei trying to steal some glass technology while it is not in the business sector at all? Logically it had nothing to gain there.

My instinct is anything our government screams at another country about, security-wise, is simply projecting the fear that everyone else is going to do the exact same thing our government is doing. Huawei might have back doors for the Chinese govt.? Oh, you mean like the FBI, NSA, and CIA have tried to (or maybe successfully) force(d) Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Google to do?

When US intelligence goals directly oppose US business goals then the enemy has already won.

The goals of the US intelligence community should be completely independent of US business goals, unless they intersect legitimately because of security concerns, rather than anti-competitive practices.
