Hypothetically speaking....the no-armies-involved solution would be to ban their products, take possession of their US assets, encourage allies to boycott their products, sue them in foreign courts, and repatriate manufacturing of US-based companies' devices to make the Huawei spying campaign far more difficult.

> ban their products
which ? the cheap phone everybody uses while taking a dump ?
> take possession of their US assets.
which ? UST bonds ? in the situation you describe, the Chinese supply chain are far more valuable.
> encourage allies to boycott their products
nobody is stupid enough to allow their teenagers to fight a land war in Asia.
> sue them in foreign courts.
Sue them where ? Hague ? how does it stop them selling phones to africans / other asians exactly ?
> repatriate manufacturing of US-based companies' devices
Do you have a 300 million + healthy well educated labour force working for sub 15 dollars an hour ?
