China/US Trade War, page-3

You mean playing by the 'rules', such as breaking WTO rules by randomly declaring car imports or whatever a 'national security issues', breaking all sorts of international treaties, meddling in other countries political system & media, censoring, producing fake news, sanctioning, coups, threatening or even destroying countries, and pressuring 3rd parties to join in bullying. Notice, there are often international organisations involved, but not one of these has ever sanctioned that misconduct.

Face it, not only China breaks IP laws and commits industrial espionage. With the US 'owning the internet', and (as revealed by wikileaks) all these backdoors in oligopolist software and hardware (but zero reported in Huawei products so far), they have ability and access like no other player to target anyone. According to Steve Bannon, taking out Huawei is '10 times more important' than the trade deal. Huawei, is now possibly the most spied-on target on the planet.

The US intention is to protect their own monopolies at any cost. Doesn't matter, if Huawei did something wrong or not, the US (rightly) fears, that in free and open markets, Chinese competitors would sooner or later break or even replace these monopolies, just because they are or will be better. And that despite all the hard working Chinese people now employed and inventing in Silicone Valley.
