        Well the US isn’t nearly as has or obvious as far as I can tell. Cell phones as a whole a problematic but we can at least limit the damage

          The US came up with that kind of surveillance, as Snowden has shown us… From an outside perspective they seem just as bad, if not worse than China.

            Well the US doesn’t backdoor motherboards to my knowledge. China on the other hand puts literal backdoors on motherboards

            You could try to argue that Intel ME is a backdoor but to my knowledge its only hypothetical with no use in the wild.
