What did Huawei do to make you come to this conclusion?

Why isn’t encryption the solution here?

No, the US government and media say there is. That is not necessarily the truth.

Encryption does not protect you from:

1. metadata leaks 2. denial of service backdoors - a real consideration for nations going to trade war with China and Huawei is pretty connected to the Chinese government

Also there is the problem that lot of tech is legacy and can not be easily upgraded for encryption (think SMS and mobile calls)
