'This Administration's retreat from multilateralism has been a boon for Chinese soft power,' Senator Mark Warner (D) told Newsweek.

China's critics, who have accused the nation in recent months of downplaying the real impact of COVID-19—including the virus' domestic infection and death rate—have condemned the donations as both an attempt to lobby for their 5G influence and to hide their alleged crimes. Bipartisan lawmakers in Washington have long expressed concerns over Huawei's ties to Beijing and the security risks associated with purchasing the company's network equipment. In 2019, Susan Rice, who served as U.S. national security advisor under former President Barack Obama, urged Canada not to allow the company to work on their 5G networks.
