Summed up my feelings better than I have. I don't think China is 'better' than the U.S. I just think that automatically assuming all Chinese tech is automatically bugged, while the U.S. can be trusted is a naive view to hold, especially since we outright know the NSA intercepted Cisco HW and modified it, with Huawei, there's been a lot of accusations made by U.S. officials with vested interests, less actual evidence.
