Yes, that is the whole point. IP gives an inventor a reward in the form of limited or no competition for a period of time.

> it doesn't tell us how a Chinese company will treat their customers.

This is like saying your wearing the wrong running shoes to swim five miles.

Huawei, and I suspect most of China, don't agree that they should be playing by rules that favour foreign incumbents.

It is easy to see how a company could believe that and also believe in treating their customers well. It would be a very competitive company.

I don't follow your point but I agree would be foolish to wear running shoes while swimming.
