So USA are banning these companies for doing the same (built in back doors) thing that USA companies are doing? Ohhh the hypocrisy

China poses a serious national security threat to the US. Reducing avenues for Chinese infiltration into American systems isn't hypocrisy. What the US does is irrelevant to banning Chinese tech.

And you don't think they can/could take advantage of backdoors the US adds? This has already happened in the past. CIA tools falling into the wrong hands ..

This is like refusing to put out a forest fire because there is also a house fire nearby. Deal with the larger threat (China) before dealing with US spying.

How about we deal with both. The US probably spies on US citizens more-so than China does. Snowden much? And the fair part of it is likely fear mongering and lobbyists for Samsung and Apple.

If we are gonna do both why not deal with China first? Why are you complaining about this?

I didn't complain. I did indicate that all backdoors are bad. I'm fine with stopping all China trade.
