It has nothing to do with ethnicity and everything to do with jurisdiction. There is obviously more transparency when companies must comply with American or British courts vs the Chinese government. At the same time, all three show very little regard for the privacy of their citizens, and seem to have no problem paying off or breaking into domestic industry to gain information or exert control. For your case in this exact instance, the Chinese government has no disincentives I can think of from pwning your computer through this kernel driver, besides that it is obviously way more effort than you are probably worth, so you probably don't have to worry about it. Alternatively, were your own government to pwn your computer through this kernel driver, it is possible you could seek legal recourse. Was legal recourse not possible, you could go to the press, who would (I think? I'm not from the UK) be free to print your story. So yeah, I think its pretty obvious installing a kernel driver from a company under Chinese jurisdiction is less safe than one from a company under American or UK jurisdiction. But noones targeting you anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
