No, not nationalism. Seemingly legitimate worries about security. I was just clarifying that I was speaking from an American perspective, where US government has published warnings against a specific set of manufacturers, not all Chinese products. This moronic trade war is not relevant to that position, and I am not at all a fan of the current administration.

Doesn't the NSA and FBI collectively have backdoors on most major consumer hardwares? Wouldn't that be a security concern for the rest of the world?

The US government still has credibility with you? I guess that is nationalism because it's not rational. You can't trust people who lie repeatedly.

Eh? Sort of like the NSA intercepting routers and flashing them? Pretty hard to trust anyone at this point. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/photos-of-an-nsa-upgrade-factory-show-cisco-router-getting-implant/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/photos-of-an-nsa...
