I don’t think people dislike Chinese tech because it’s made by Chinese people, but rather because the Chinese government is assumed to have some hand in it. Best faith interpretation and all that, right?

Technology has no political badges or flags. First of all, scientists and engineers are not political actors. Moreover, I have all the right to use a technology if I want it, even if it was developed in a totalitarian regime. For the US to prevent me from using this technology is infringing on my freedoms.

What freedoms does banning Chinese products infringe? I'm pretty sure that the national government has the right to control international trade in the same way that the state governments have a right to control interstate trade.

Get of your high horse. Scientists and engineers in China, are political actors. Everything done in china is political. And your right is superseded by national security, and good luck trying to find infringment on it.

I for one am rooting to start boycotting the whole of China, until their communist regime which conducts genocide is forced to change and play humane and fair.

You do have a right to buy Huawei equipment but you do not have the right to force your city/government to buy their equipment.
