In an amusing editorial on Thursday, Chinese state propaganda declared that if Huawei loses its new lawsuit against the U.S. government, “the reputation of the U.S. judicial system will be disgraced.”

No, it really won’t, because Huawei’s success in that lawsuit would require the federal judiciary’s acceptance of falsehood. Namely, that the U.S. Congress lacks the authority to ban U.S. federal agencies from buying equipment that endangers national security.
