I don't think Huawei is being accused of stealing 5G technology.

It's accused of being an espionage arm of the CCP and that having it control communications backbone infrastructure is a bad idea.

Yes Nortel invented 5G in 2009, when 3G was still undertaking rollout.

Basic research takes a long time; The technology of today is based on the advances made a decade ago, or even more in the past.
