The real bad actor here is Huawei. Does anyone still think Huawei is just a simple tech company trying to do business?

I mean, the purpose of this attack was to get more business...

That said, no big tech company is a simple tech company anymore. They've all become (arguably they always were) political, geopolitical, and adversarial entities.

No, the purpose is to subvert the truth. What happened to do no evil? I dont accept that is how business is done and why should you?

Yes, the purpose is to subvert the truth so that Huawei can get more contracts and more money and more power.

Do no evil has never been the modus operandi of large corporations. They have always been amoral.

Anyone could do this, and there are plenty that would like Huawei to look bad.

The report indicated that official Huawei accounts retweeted these bots, so...

It's likely that this is indeed done by Huawei, but if it wasn't it would be very likely for Huawei to inadvertently retweet some of them.

I'm not being facetious when I say that maybe only the bots think that anymore.

The bots are on this platform as well.
