"From the SPON article:

"The American government conducted a major intelligence offensive against China, with targets including the Chinese government and networking company Huawei, according to documents from former NSA worker Edward Snowden that have been viewed by SPIEGEL. Among the American intelligence service's targets were former Chinese President Hu Jintao, the Chinese Trade Ministry, banks, as well as telecommunications companies. But the NSA made a special effort to target Huawei.

According to a top secret NSA presentation, NSA workers not only succeeded in accessing the email archive, but also the secret source code of individual Huwaei products."

    If anything of interest would have been found, it would have been documented in that very presentation/documents that were leaked. So we can safely assume, nothing of interest was found.

    Another theory is, if they invaded Chinese network gear on this level it is not too far fetched to imagine that "Chinese hacker attacks" may originate from the NSA as well. They can use this to further discredit Huawei or even plant backdoors in their products, the potential for false flag operations is tremendous.
