They‘ll just make it with secret phone-home spying and backdoors.

E: what‘s this? All these folks either saying the US does it or skipping past all the phone-home spyware China includes in devices? Guess that means cheaper spying hardware is ok then?

For now, once China becomes the dominant power, they will certainly abuse it as much as the USA do.

Even if that happens (which is not an inevitability, since China historically has been doing things quite differently from the US), it is no worse than status quo. Until then, unless you are an active threat to China, and are planning on visiting it, you don't have to worry about it.
