[China] doesn’t have a single law that can compel a company to spy on its behalf or put backdoors in its products [..] the government doesn’t need a law > Yet ironically, it’s the U.S. and the U.K. — and more recently Australia — that have laws in place that can in fact compel a company to turn over data, or force a company to install backdoors. Indeed, western national security politics is schizoprenic and hypocritical and can't be taken seriously. Instead of worrying specifically so much about Huawei, put funding towards developing secure communications technologies that render backdoors in communications backbones obsolete. This would also protect your own citizens against your own overreaching intelligence services.
