Zuckerberg refuses to answer to parliamentary summons and is sending a proxy instead.
By "proxy" you mean "scapegoat" right?

Did you also mention that it is probably spying for the Chinese government?

Has any reliable source showed concern about this? This is a real question. I've heard this a bit, but the only source of it is an agency that I literally have zero trust in and consider an enemy of the state. So if the bad guys are claiming this is bad, does that in any way make it likely to be bad?

If my own intuition counts as a reliable source, then yes. People from all sides have been touting Huawei stuff to me for years, but I have always remained skeptical. I don't give a flying f@ck what the US gub'mint has to say about them, I have had my doubts for a number of years now.

Where do the doubts come from, though? I don't know anything about Huawei that would give be cause for concern. That's not the same as have any information that they are safe, of course. But it seems a really random vendor to have concerns about if there isn't some source for them.

Who needs something like this?!
I want it, sure, but who uses these systems?

Machine learning, simulations. They can't make systems big enough for those workloads.
