The US sold printers with tracking device to Iraq. During the war the US used the spy printers as targets. Huawei can do the same thing if there is a conflict.
My ISP uses Huawei infrastructure, that is why I only use the Huawei router/modem as a modem and put a OpenWRT router using PPPoE between the Huawei modem and my network.

Submission + - AI tools may soon manipulate people's online decision-making, say researchers (theguardian.com)
SysEngineer writes: Study predicts an ‘intention economy’ where companies bid for accurate predictions of human behavior
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools could be used to manipulate online audiences into making decisions – ranging from what to buy to who to vote for – according to researchers at the University of Cambridge.
The paper highlights an emerging new marketplace for “digital signals of intent” – known as the “intention economy” – where AI assistants understand, forecast and manipulate human intentions and sell that information on to companies who can profit from it.
