The US are going to find that the Chinese will play hardball and stand up for their interests, unlike weak sauce European countries.
Won't matter too much in the end for the two elephants fighting here, but Canadians are going to be crushed underfoot.

Really? When I enter "Huawei" into Google Translate it comes back with "guilty".
I'll put my money on the US.

lol, it seemed pretty effective for Europe to just threaten the very specific companies of Trump backers.

So much for words. Did US policy change as a result?

Consider that in I think 2009 or maybe '08, a Chinese sub crept within Torpedo Range of a US Carrier Group member, ascended to periscope depth, snapped a photo of not just that one within-range ship but several others not far out-of-range, descended then snuck back to China.
As a _profound_ achievement in Force Projection, China proceeded to blast that photo all over G-d's Creation.
Oddly, I am unable to find that photo anywhere now.

There is no proof those photos are even real and china has a grand total of 9 nuclear attack submarines. All of them primitive by modern standards. Their killer torpedo the yu-6 is similar to a mk-48 from 20 years ago. Note the modern mk48 is... well modern.
Furthermore China is not stupid and though it appears they would like to become a global military leader their advancements are practical and not a collection of suicide tier doomsday devices like Iran and Russia. Because they'd actually rather not engage with the US.
To give you an idea what the iranian navy looks like it's full of small boats and electric submarines, for US engagements they'll be armed with the incredibly unstable hoot torpedos, very similar to the high test peroxide shekvals that sunk the kursk.
