This article is years old now, but I have got great mileage out of sending it people who say “I’d never buy a Chinese car - the Chinese government will spy on you” like if China wants to spy on me, fine!

What are the Chinese going to do? Bar me from entering China?
I seriously do not understand being afraid of China spying on me over ANYTHING American.
The worst a chinese device is gonna do is leak that I’m a furry leftist to my conservative family.
The worst an american device is gonna do is lead the SS to shoot me because I think we should have healthcare.
These are sooooo obviously the same we must ban chinese devices and software forever.
