article conveniently doesnt mention the fact that huawei's 5g chip isnt sourced from an American design, rather its the Balong 5000 which has been around since january of 2019. the 16 nm chipset can easily be cranked out from Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) in mainland china, which is capable of 14nm runs. barring that, GlobalFoundries as they havent expressed any serious interest in Americas trade war witch hunt masquerading as a security concern.

GlobalFoundries is a US company, no extra leverage needed to block them from doing business with Huawei.

According to the US DoJ they use technology which was stolen from US companies, so it's at least partially American design.

Huawei had an encrypted email address explicitly for stolen trade secrets and offered bonuses up to employees who delivered stolen tech and secrets. [1]
