\n

For China<\/a>, Huawei is a source of national pride – it’s even written into the company’s name.<\/p>\n

For the United States<\/a> and many Western nations, however, the tech giant is a spying tool for the Chinese government.<\/p>\n

It’s suing<\/a> the US government for not allowing its workers to buy Huawei equipment and services.<\/p>\n
