The "problem" is simply that they have links to Huawei and that in itself is considered to be a security risk, because Trump's anti-Huawei campaign had the company successfully branded as such.

I'm not defending them per se, allowing Chinese company to have a larger grip on the global tech market than they already do probably is indeed a mistake, but do I think their phones or tech were "spying on people" any more than any other smartphone ... ? Or that they were passing everyone's details straight to the CCP? ... No I don't.
