While I have no doubt than basically anything from China is probably backdoored (and to the fault of western countries outsourcing manufacturing for cheap labour), what exactly has Huawei done?

How do we know that the Cisco equipment also isn't backdoored and if I send a few malformed TCP packets it opens up its control plane on the receiving port?

Compared to the last few decades, it seems like a strong hand banning these companies. Personally I would like all electronics and products to be made in countries that respect some level of human rights I am comfortable with, but that doesn't really seem like an option currently.
