Uh, EVERY Chinese company has a Chicom intel officer sitting in a corner office that they directly report to.
It’s not that there is an intel officer in the company, it is that China is an oligarchy controlled by the Communist Party. What the law is or says in an irrelevancy.
The party uses the state apparatus (to include the aforementioned intel officers) as a tool to execute its will. If Huawei actually attempted to refuse a request for data, they would jail/kill whoever they needed to force compliance. Afterwards, for appearances sake, they’d figure out what to crime of which to charge and convict them.
That and every Chinese company of any size at all (I have heard down to companies with 30+ employees) has a CCP/CPC (Chinese Communist Party) oversight committee watching their every move and scooping every piece of useful information from their interactions with customers and vendors.
