There is a lot of evidence about US backdoors. The invisible dots on every printed page in the world. The Snowden leaks. The fact that the US is publicly trying to get Apple to install backdoors on their phones and threatening to pass laws to make them do so (they don’t seem to be speaking up as much about google which makes me wonder if Google has already capitulated). The ability to get any cloud provider to share any info with the US government (this is theoretically better than China, because unlike China’s case, it requires judicial approval...in practice it isn’t much better, because judicial approval is given 100% of the time).
I still strongly believe that if I had to lose my privacy, and needed to install a backdoors on my devices, I’d much rather it be to an American 3 letter agency than a Chinese one of any form. That doesn’t change the fact that the NSA and co have been proven to do much worse than what Huawei is being accused of doing potentially in the future.
