As far as the tech angle goes, even if Apple, for example, refused to allow access to its phones to the FBI, CIA, and NSA, what makes you think - or gives you the assurance - that FBI/CIA/NSA won't "access" these phones anyway? According to WikiLeaks release from 2017 televisions, smartphones and even anti-virus software are all vulnerable to CIA hacking. The capabilities described include recording the sounds, images and the private text messages of users, even when they resort to encrypted apps to communicate.
So, even if Huawei could theoretically "reject" the Chinese government it would be irrelevant because in the end any company would be forced to "cooperate". I wonder what would happen to Apple or Google if they actively worked against the national interests of U.S.
