Microsoft found a Huawei Driver that opens systems to attack
What happened is a Huawei driver used an unusual approach. It injected code into a privileged windows process in order to start programs that may have crashed... Something that can be done easier using a windows API call.
Since it's a driver it can do this but it's a very bad practice because it bypasses security checks. But if the driver itself is fully secure it doesn't matter.
But the driver isn't fully secure it and it could be used by a normal program to access secure areas of the system.
(But frankly any driver that isn't fully secure could have an issue like this. But this sort of practice makes it harder to secure...)
So either Huawei is negligent or they did this on purpose to open a security hole to be used by itself or others...
Can't be certain, but if they did this without any malicious intent then they are grossly negligent. There isn't any excuse here.

Huawei asking developers to publish apps to its own app store
After the United States blocked Huawei from purchasing U.S. tech without government approval, one of the first companies to comply with the ban was Google. Alphabet Inc. revoked Huawei’s Android license, which intensified the Chinese company’s efforts for its own Android alternative operating system and app store.
In order to have a chance at survival on its own, Huawei will have to populate its app store with titles, and the company is already reaching out to popular Android app developers with requests to publish their apps in the Huawei AppGallery. One such letter to a developer that wishes to be anonymous can be found below, courtesy of XDA Developers.
