It is interesting how this dovetails with the trade war with China. When the media got all hot and heavy about evil Huawei and how the would use their communication equipment to spy on America, my response was simple. They can't spy on us if we encrypt everything. If they want to give us cheap subsidized telecom equipment, let them, we will just use encryption for everything. Then the government decided to ban encryption and then things started to get clearer.
