Huawei shows up in just about every problematic country. They had breached UN sanctions by delivering unapproved telecom and other high-tech gear to Iraq before 2003 and had installed a fiber network to help Saddam coordinate his air defenses. They were reportedly (by the Indian press) building a new fiber-optics phone network and surveillance systems in Afghanistan when we invaded there, and those assets were among the first targeted by US/Nato airstrikes. They were all over Libya until February and are still desperately trying to hang on to their embedded assets there:

Phone systems are strategic assets and entrusting them to a foreign firm like Huawei is tantamount to forging a client state relationship with the Chinese. When you do that, trouble follows. For more, see:
