Any modern symmetric encryption is extremely likely to be safe against state-level actors for the observable future assuming your encryption key is not compromised and has enough entropy in it. Even with quantum computers you only need twice longer keys. Roughly, AES-256 would provide AES-128 level of security in the presence of practical quantum computers.
If you feel especially paranoid about potential backdoors in algorithms, you can chain several algorithms from different organizations (e.g. AES, Kuznyechik, ChaCha20, and SM4) initialized with different keys. Though such practice is frowned upon by cryptographers.
