Given we've found zero proof that China has ever put backdoors in hardware.

And the devastation to their economy if we did find backdoors which would forever poison Chinese electronics is a far greater security risk to them, than any advantage they may possibly get from implementing backdoors.

I assume it's actually because 5G has to be found causing the Coronvirus and they are covering it up?

You're right about back doors, but this is about (like it or not) supporting the US and sanctioning China without saying so (likely a good think because of coronavirus, HK, minorities, democracy, etc).
