As mentioned in the linked Times article Huawei Technologies is alleged to have strong ties with the Chinese military. Although some are comfortable with this, thus seeing the company in a vendor role no different than that Boeing (and others, including Intel) enjoy in selling to the U.S. military, others see some need for caution, particularly due to the observation that many Chinese corporations are in fact, sometimes disclosed, but oft not, State partners including partnering (in one form or another) with the military. In this view, Huawei, whether openly mentioned or not by those holding such opinion, can be seen as a "Strawman" (if not by outright, not uncommon, pecuniary ownership interest, but by, at least, "Research Association") for the PLA.
