> “Do you even deserve to collaborate with our patriotic Huawei?” one Weibo user said about Leica, according to SCMP.

Is this an actual sentiment that Chinese citizens have?

China has more than a billion people. It might be the sentiment ONE Chinese person may have, or even a group, but one Weibo user does not represent a significant fraction of Chinese citizens.

And no, I'm not even sure many people know that Leica collaborates with Huawei.

This felt off to me too. I really dislike articles that cherry-pick anonymous SNS posts to prove a point.
