Because the NSA has such a great record of getting punished from their transgressions, right?

For foreign countries, handling your data to either the Chinese surveillance apparatus or the USA one makes no difference. In fact, any company with such deep ties with a foreign intelligence agency as Palantir should be automatically considered a security thread in other nations.

Anyway, the deal with Huawei was about buying hardware, not handling over data.
