Or maybe simply because the US intelligence not having a backdoor is why the're demonizing Huawei in Europe for example. That doesn't imply that Huawei does have a backdoor, simply that they'd not be able to spy anymore...

Not sure how that makes sense when the alternatives to Huawei proposed and supported by the US are European, primarily Ericsson and Nokia.

Where is the self-interest in the US pressuring European (mostly EU) countries to use EU competitors?
