Re: How the heck can they sell this in the West...
I was wondering the very same thing, but then I made these assumptions:
Huawei is a Chinese company, and like all Chinese companies ownership and financial dealings are pretty opaque.
If the Chinese government has a shareholding in Huawei which seems likely, then Apple may have been warned off. I'm pretty sure that the Chinese government would put it's own interests before rule of law, no matter what they say publicly.
I may be paranoid, but that doesn't mean they're not out to get me.
