The argument in this article is not that Huawei is handing over data, or anything else AT&T has been accused of. It's that Huawei is secretly a front for the Chinese government.

So basically the exact same thing as AT&T ...

AT&T worked with the US government to spy on Americans and foreign nationals and then when they were bused the US government gave them retroactive immunity.

BTW.. Retroactive immunity is illegal for criminal cases but it's perfectly ok for civil cases.

Ex post facto...

This was a complete miscarriage of justice.

No, cooperating with the government isn't exactly the same thing as being owned by the government.
