But all that most American officials see when they look at the fast-growing Shenzhen-based company is the red of the Chinese flag. Once again, Huawei has failed to crack the US market. Last month, its attempts to buy two US companies were thwarted when one bid for 2wire, an internet software group, and another for a unit of Motorola were rejected. Though Huawei had offered the highest price in both instances, fears that US regulators would block the acquisitions on security grounds short-circuited the process. The companies were sold instead to Pace of the UK and Nokia of Finland.

American debt.  Indeed, after a brief respite, China has once again ramped up its US debt purchases in the wake of the European debt crisis.  The result of these purchases has been lower interest rates for American consumers, and a check on US inflation that has allowed liberal economists like Paul Krugman to argue for even more government spending.  Nevertheless, China's debt purchases have also elicited loud screams from the very Congress that has created that debt in the first place.  Indeed, just last month the US Senate overwhelmingly approved an amendment that would "require regular White House reports on the financial and national security risks posed by debt held by China and other foreign governments."
