Salesfag here. Huawei isn't the only Chinese state-owned tech shop that needs to eat shit. As an aside, Huawei is RIGHT NOW starting a huge push to capture US market (like 1% of revenue as SPIFF to wholesalers, insane). In a time when state/local govs and schools are pulling away from the brand because they don't want to have to rip-out-and-replace their hardware later (even in Australia!) Huawei doubles down.
But I'm here to talk cameras. Hikvision and Dahua and their proliferation of sub-brands that totally dominate the US market. First up, here's a link to give you an idea of the massive sanctions that may be coming sooner than later:

The biggest surveillance brands in the world are state-owned Chinese companies that grew very fat on their business in China (so, from the government teat). Again, they ARE the US market for cameras. Anything they don't own is pretty universally made in China anyways, so if outsiders make an advancement they get to cannibalize the tech (like Huawei has done).
Hand in hand with the social credit initiatives, these cameras have popped up EVERYWHERE. They're especially interested in the muslim population, of course. Cameras in mosques are one example of pilot fish normalizing invasive technology, and people get abducted or killed based on the surveillance. I can hear the muslim haters already, and put a fucking sock in it because you're missing the forest for the trees.
Here's the part where it gets really creepy, frens. It's not just in China. These brands are all over the US, and they're fucking comp'd. I'll try to find the compromised surveillance map again to post later. Hikvision doorbells, for crying out loud. And not just America. Some of those bunk loans they're giving out to smaller nations are for surveillance "Safe Cities". Example: Kenya.

There's still a lot more to dig on the cameras topic, and still so much more on Huawei. Before it's all over, I expect we'll find that we've been encouraged to build the ChiComm spy machine into our daily lives similar to the Intel "Whoopsie everything ever built as i-series has a glaring zero day exploit".
Thanks for everything you do, patriots.
