Obfuscated C is unreadable, obfuscated Perl is completely impenetrable, but what I want to see is obfuscated Lisp.
Then you clearly overlooked this Common Lisp entry:

Last year's winners also included some obfuscated lambda calculus programs, like a 167-bit prime number generator.

If Huawei's code requires anything more than generic gcc, Australia may not be able to verify 100% security, regardless... unless they're given the source code to the compiler as well.
That wouldn't help, since the compiler recognizes its own source as well, and puts the compiler backdoor in the resulting compiler executable. So the bad compiler source code is only needed initially to create a compromised compiler executable, and can be cleaned up afterwards.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
