Huawei has been caught doing corporate espionage many times, and treating its employees poorly. It’s always such an uphill battle to get people to realize that competition with China is different from democratic countries. It’s easier to believe that it’s just racism and bigotry than it is to accept that Chinese companies compete on uneven footing.

I absolutely agree but if you think that the US companies are fighting fairly then you are sorely mistaken.
The US government and judicial system routinely interfere to give advantages and sometimes outright eliminate competitors to American companies.
A very good example is the way the acquisition of Alstom by GE was delivered.

Another example is how the US government and Microsoft effectively killed off japanese competition from their TRON operating system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRON_project).
