Reply to comment by shwag945 in US bans sales of Huawei, Hikvision, ZTE, and Dahua equipment by DrinkMoreCodeMore

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.
