Edward Snowden leaks claims that the NSA hacked into Huawei to try and use their own technology for foreign spying, but Huawei has been accused of trying to hack the U.S on behalf of the Chinese government's requests as well.

Anyway, whether something did or didn't happen, governments always claim things to push their point of view or spread rumors to sabotage someone who hasn't been playing ball. It's always worked like this.
The U.S is proving to China that they are willing to down the hole they have started to prove a point and get whatever they want from China. China are probably going to give in. The chances of Donald Trump stepping back from the fiasco he's moved the U.S into is slim because it would make the U.S look weak for being unwilling to carry out what they started.
