Personally, I have avoided technology products built in US because there's a chance they might be backdoored. I'm sure others have done the same.

  How do you reconcile that with the fact most electronic components are made in China? To me the odds of something coming out of China being backdoored are a lot higher than well...anywhere else. Where do you get your gear?

    Because the point is America is bad, not that all others are far worse. Of course you can argue that the others don't matter, but that really isn't true.

    Truthfully the truly privacy conscious are going to have to start joining the open hardware + open software movement. Edit: AFAIK it isn't yet established enough to setup a full range of your average first world consumer's products though.

    The Chinese don't send drones to kill people in other countries. At least not yet.

  So you trust China not to backdoor their products?
