Huawei got sanctions after catch on spy activity.

Who else you know?

Huawei got entity listed for selling to Iran (which Nokia and many other western companies does as well). There has never been any evidence proving Huawei espionage activity, which it can obviously be used for. Only Huawei gear has enabled foreign govs to undermine US espionage / influence efforts, iirc Huawei tech helping some african country using lawful intercept technologies to bust US aligned activists.

Likewise skydio got sanctions after arming Taiwan. Can you arm Russia from within US without sanctions?

Nobody said about sanctions after arming Taiwan. It is just your guess. But about sanctions against Huawei, exists juridical cases and official statements.

Could you remember any case where US use sanctions without juridical case?

I could make up judicial cases and sanctions galore.. It's the reason why wto exists.

Huawei is neither sanctioned by wto nor Europe (till 2029) or any other part of the world
