The Spin

Pro-China narrative

US policies are an unreasonable suppression of Chinese companies. Since Huawei and other companies are not a national security threat to the US, this move violates international economic and trade rules. Policies like this create supply chain inefficiencies, disrupt globalization, and have hidden consequences for the world economy.

Anti-China narrative

Huawei poses a huge threat not just to American commercial activities but also to national security since the company has strong ties to PRC government agencies. Chinese laws require businesses to work with Chinese intelligence and security agencies whenever they are requested, and there have been several allegations of Huawei engaging in espionage activities. Restricting exports to the company is necessary to protect American financial and security interests.
