They‘ll just make it with secret phone-home spying and backdoors.

E: what‘s this? All these folks either saying the US does it or skipping past all the phone-home spyware China includes in devices? Guess that means cheaper spying hardware is ok then?

Well if the choice is between cheap spying hardware and expensive spying hardware...

It seems to be that you're mistaken, the NSA and Snowden aren't Chinese, they're from the USA

Also it is a bit easier to de-spyware chinese devices.
