Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
When Microsoft asked US lawmakers to explain the threat [from Huawei], they've been too vague for Smith's liking. Huawei is a major customer of his company: Its laptops come with Microsoft's Windows operating system.
"Oftentimes, what we get in response is, 'Well, if you knew what we knew, you would agree with us'," Smith told Bloomberg. "And our answer is, 'Great, show us what you know so we can decide for ourselves. That's the way this country works.' "
[...] Smith, who's also Microsoft's chief legal officer, said his company argued that the department should limit its ban to sales that pose national security risks, such as universities with Chinese military links -- an approach he compared to a "scalpel" rather than its current "meat cleaver" method.
Neither Huawei nor the White House immediately responded to requests for comment.

That "here" is only valid for America. Huawei has been steadily eating market share of Apple and other US companies all over the world. And THAT is the reason for the accusations and ban.
And to this point it really are only accusations, it's been going on for a long time now, still not a single piece of evidence or semblence of evidence. In fact, evidence to the opposite is given by the fact that all allies and 5-eyes members happily continue on using Huawei.
