What about Huawei home internet (fiber) modems / routers? Many large telcos in the EU use them.

I believe people fundamentally misunderstand what the EU is and how it works.
Here is what I have learned from people who know the system very well and after working with it myself:
– The EU is designed to be influenced and run by lobbies. And it is in the open and assumed.
– The Parliament is a joke. And you can partially blame the member countries who really do not send their best there, because they know it is joke.
– It used to be that corruption was not a thing in the EU. Just because none of those Commission people would risk their career and benefits, and it was severely punished. So they wouldn't even accept a cup of coffee from you.
Now it does seem things got out of control, at least in the Parliament.

Good. Huawei is a Chinese state run enterprise passing all info to their masters.

My fear is that similar dynamics were at play when the AI act was shaped and approved, with the three European biggest countries unhappy of the content of the act (France, Italy, Germany).

Highly recommend House of Huawei by Eva Dou, I didn’t know much about the history or background of this monolithic and demonized company so I picked it up and I have to say I found it fascinating.
If you’re interested in recent history or telecommunication development over the last 50 years it’s a great read. It’s not a technical deep dive nor a political hit piece, the author wrote for the Washington Post and it really reads like a long and in-depth article. Which is actually nice despite sometimes leaving me wanting for more, definitely made it a quick read.

Edit: Washington Post, not New York Times

Meta note: FTM (Follow The Money) is a small Dutch investigative journalism outfit which has exposed a far amount of bad shit in the Netherlands, and probably had the biggest per-staffer impact of any publication here (if you could somehow quantify that).
I wasn't actually aware they had an English-language .eu version but great for them! I found their "about us" page to be a bit obtuse (no names, no locations, making it very similar to the "about" pages of fake news sites and extreme-left/right associated magazines), so figured it might be nice to add this bit of context: In NL, FTM is generally considered a respected news organization and they're not particularly associated with any political angle.
Basically how it goes in NL is:
