At this point I have a hard time believing that anyone can buy a Chinese product and then talk about there being a "secret backdoor" in seriousness.

Come on: We all should know by now that if it's Chinese, there is more likely than not some way for Xi to use it for something other than what you want the product to do. There's nothing "secret" or "back" about this door. It's more like an open front gate with landing strips and a "welcome home Pooh bear" sign.
