The reality in the US is that to a degree we have already established a network that could be corrupted to preform covert and illegal activity silently. Involving a company like Huawei only escalates the likely hood of illegal use.
There are very few places in NYC where you are not on a surveillance camera. The value to the police is unquestionable. I often see the videos of crimes on the early morning news--and then the next morning the arrest of the perpetrators. It seems as if the bad actors have enough neighborhood enemies that have no qualms about dropping a dime on them.
While that serves a positive service it is only a breath away from infringing on human rights.
BTW, while the city has extensive cameras deployed across the city there are even a larger cache of private cameras that supplement the police network.

Use of cameras in the U.S. to chronicle robberies, muggings & murders is a tad different from the Chi-Coms using them and roving through communications to put dissidents into concentration camps for “re-education.”

Hmmm... this all sounds very familiar. For, the NSA opened up a "listening" center right on Salt Lake City's South side.
