Well documented in Wired, lol! I would settle for just one peer-reviewed article in a reputed journal.
> backdoors intended for law enforcement
Which law enforcement? Chinese? When did Chinese law become global law?

They are relevant. They are about companies banning other companies with superior tech by buddying up with the govt.. Claims of sidetracking are usually surfaced when there is no viable defense.
Not to mention, Huawei was caught with its pants down stealing code from Cisco.

So how much of this "superior" tech is due to stealing and not putting in the cost for that development?
I could go on, but at this point I will be convincing only neutral rational observers.
You are upping the ante! Shouldn't a good leader lead by example? Where is your verifiable evidence of Huawei backdoors? I am working and publish in computer security, I am able to verify backdoors personally. Can you point me to such code?
Anyway, in addition to user "froh"'s points in a sibling post, here are more examples of Huawei technical leadership:

When did US law become global law? The point is: any telecom gear provider that wants to sell telecom gear in the EU or US is required to add law enforcement backdoors.

Like most companies in developing countries, they started out making knock-off gear. Over 3 decades they went from copying other people's ideas to world leadership in 5G. Congratulations!
IIRC, Huawei announced its first SoC with integrated 5G modem, the Kirin 990 [1], in September 2019. The Kirin 990 5G was featured in Huawei's flagship smartphone, the Mate 30, which was launched in the same month. So Huawei was only 1 year ahead of Qualcomm on the consumer side.
