At least so far, this one's weaker because it's just a nonbinding advisory opinion about Huawei and ZTE, while the windfarm case was an actual block of a private-sector transaction.

The report here warns federal government procurement offices to avoid purchasing Huawei and ZTE equipment, and also recommends that private-sector companies avoid doing so. But the second recommendation has no teeth at all, and even the first part isn't strictly binding on the executive branch's procurement policies (it's not an actual passed bill, just a report issued by a committee).
