    Are you truly implying it’d be more secure to buy Chinese tech then US specifically if you’re not wanting to be spied on by the CCP?

    That’s quite the take lmao.

      Only if your primary concern was US-centric surveillance. If you cared about Chinese surveillance, idfk. Big hanging question mark as to whether American native systems are more compromised than Chinese native systems. All I can say for sure is that American systems are confirmed compromised by both US-friendly surveillance and Chinese hacker groups.

      That’s quite the take lmao.

      It’s very easy to believe “Thing from China bad because China Bad”. But once you look into the actual security schema for these tools and applications, you discover Americans did an excellent job of leaving their hardware exposed to domestic infiltration and a terrible job of securing it against foreign intrusion.

        If you think the US isn’t backdooring Chinese tech too you’d be mistaken lmao.

        Its not that Chinese tech is any more secure fundamentally, they just don’t literally build in backdoors for the CIA/FBI/Etc… They’re still hackable especially if they’re just running android or similar.

          lmao

          This seems to be the bottom of every “America Good, China Bad” argument.

          Just 😂🤣🇺🇸😹. It’s Obvious, Idiot. Just Think Logically.

          Its not that Chinese tech is any more secure fundamentally

          Is it? Is this worth interrogating, even slightly? Is there any actual difference between industrial models or design philosophies?

          No. Lolz. Roflcopter.
