Governments in many countries, including the United States, Australia and
Canada, have been highly suspicious of the political motives of Chinese
business firms seeking to invest in resource industries and infrastructure
development overseas. This article uses the case of the Chinese hi-tech
firm, Huawei Technologies, to demonstrate the tendency of the United
States and other governments to frame their analysis based on unreliable or
biased sources and outdated understanding of the Chinese legal and
corporate environment. The inevitable results of such misguided framing will
be schizophrenic foreign policy decisions, increased international tensions,
higher costs for consumers, and retaliation by the Chinese government
against international firms doing business in China.
