Oh when will China start making HDDs and SSDs and GPUs and CPUs
PLEASE China PLEASE flood the market with cheap, top shelf computer parts that will force Western corporations to lower their prices or go bankrupt when they don't
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?
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.
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.
