"US officials say ..." - That counts for very little. Where's the evidence?
The other stories are about some of Huawei's employees having on their CV that they've worked with the PLA and other government agencies. By that metric, what major US company isn't connected to the US government?
> numerous cases of stolen code, designs, and even wholesale products.
This is a huge exaggeration. Huawei has had IP disputes with other companies, and there have been some allegations like T-Mobile's claims about its "Tappy" robot being copied, but this is all relatively minor stuff for a massive company. Compared to the IP disputes between Apple and Samsung, for example, this is peanuts.
On the other hand, Huawei is one of the largest R&D spenders in the world now.
