I'm going to side step the morality of the respective governments. I am a US Citizen, I have opinions, bias and an incomplete picture. My point is, I think it is harder to de-tangle a Chinese corporation's objectives from China (the governments) objectives than say a corporation in the US or EU. There are stronger laws and separation of controls (on the books and in practice) in those regions. Do I trust the US government? Not terribly. Do I trust the US government more than China as a US Citizen? Yes. Should you? I don't know. Defending against nation state targeting as an individual may be an impossible task unless you follow in Richard Stallman's footsteps, in which case, the conversation about LoL installing a kernel driver in Windows is very much outside your concerns :)
