I'm not saying we don't hack them.

I'm saying we don't hack them with the goal of driving them out of the American market, which is what happened to Google's PRC operations.

We hacked Huawei and drove them out, but those were separate incidents. I'm not convinced it puts the US in a morally superior position, though.
