Yeah that’s the thing, I am more comfortable with Chinese backdoors.
Not in the sense of being a pro-Xi Tankie, which I basically am, but more in the sense that I don’t live in China or have any significant dealings with China. I don’t care if China spies on me.
In a world where I have to choose between Uncle Sam or Uncle Xi reading my emails, well, what’s uncle Xi gonna do to me?
To be fair I’m not that radical and Uncle Sam would find me at most list-worthy and probably not even that because I’m not that interesting but I am even less interesting to Xi, so given that choice I’d rather he’s got the keys you know what I mean?
Thank you for the write up though, upon reading my comment I wonder if I come across as argumentative and I want to stress that’s not my attitude, I appreciate your points a lot. You make good points especially about needing to blend in. I really do appreciate the effort post.

Nah you don’t sound argumentative, I probably sound argumentative.
It’s just crazy hearing people say “x is better for security”. Who’s security, what kind, under what circumstances, when and where?
Our approach to information security is very matrix when it needs to be more French connection.
