The US government is a dangerous authoritarian government and they heavily influence private business in very nasty ways.
If I am remembering correctly, Australia also has laws that allow the government to force private companies to build backdoors. I think it was the Ass Access Act.
Oh yeah I'm not denying that.
I'm just saying its short sighted to take any shots at China when the west are authoritarian themselves.
The difference is that there is SOME accountability in the West and we can, to an extent, influence who leads us, especially in Europe.
So if flagrant misuse does appear, there’s a much higher risk of it being discovered and of heads rolling in the west.
Think of the number of exposed scandals in the West and compare that to China.
And I’m not throwing shit China’s way and thinking the West infallible. I’ve been to China plenty and worked with awesome Chinese people plenty. There’s a lot to love in China.
But let’s not get lost in whataboutisms. Where would you rather raise your children?!
Yea, we do....
The US government is in fact not authoritarian. As for influencing private business that is a real concern but at least here it isn't illegal to stay private. I can vote for my officials and criticize the government without fear.

Damn, if only the US government didn't have a proven track record of putting backdoors in commercial software.
But hey, at least they are not authoritarian state so backdoors originating from the US are all fine, right?
The US is especially authoritarian.
And if you think you actually have a choice in candidates, let alone any good ones you're sorely mistaking.
Voter suppression is a widely used tactic to influence votes away from low socio economic areas and black communities.
