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?
Even if that happens (which is not an inevitability, since China historically has been doing things quite differently from the US), it is no worse than status quo. Until then, unless you are an active threat to China, and are planning on visiting it, you don’t have to worry about it.

Also it is a bit easier to de-spyware chinese devices.
Well if the choice is between cheap spying hardware and expensive spying hardware…
Sooo, same as right now, but with way less possibility to be used against me? Sign me up!
For now, once China becomes the dominant power, they will certainly abuse it as much as the USA do.
Like they haven’t already done that in Asia?
Sure, not just world wide like the USA currently.

Two wrongs make a right?
It seems to be that you’re mistaken, the NSA and Snowden aren’t Chinese, they’re from the USA
