-Such hypocrites, everyone knows you just want American tech with all its built in spying capabilities everywhere in the world, and Chinese gear doesn't give the CIA/NSA/FBI that capability.-
No, the Chinese gear just openly phones home. Just like when I disabled the phone home ability of the companies NVR system and a whole slew of capabilities just did not function.
While I am under no illusion about the USA spying, at least they don't appear as malevolent as the CCP and disappear whole groups of people and the Social Credit system has yet to make an appearance.
