    I’m loving the Xiaomi Mesh wifi I bought as a gift to my parents. Zero issues. Idk about how secure they are but I trust them more than ISP stuff (even if those used to be Huawei anyway)

    “can’t be manipulated” is a stretch. The chairman/CEO and CFO both have party membership and the company is primarily held by a union, although it is unclear if the union holds the majority of class-b shares. There is party influence in Huawei through the executive and possibly the ownership despite them technically being private. The party has limited control over Huawei, but control nonetheless.

      The party has limited control over Huawei, but control nonetheless.

      I’d imagine that with such a large strategically important company they have more than limited control of it, which is cool and good and how it should be.

        Party control is there but isn’t always strong enough, even with party members, such as in the case of the Alibaba Group and Jack Ma.

    Objectively incorrect.

    A number of Chinese laws state that Chinese individuals and organisations must, if asked, co-operate with intelligence work.

    There’s two types of responses in this thread. People who assume ‘manipulated’ means ‘pushed around by a foreign (the US) government’. And people who assume ‘manipulated’ means ‘complying with locals laws (that of China)’. I don’t know wether the latter is a knee jerk response in favor of corporate sovereignty, or if it is about US extraterritoriality. After all, whenever we order Twitter to comply with Brazilian laws, the US government cites its own constitution or whatever to censor us.

      It depends on your threat model, but it seems most people in the lemmyverse live in some nato-aligned (or at least not aligned with the PRC) country, so if you are concerned about surveillance from your domestic state it would be safer to use Chinese technology. Sure, the PRC government might also be spying on you but what are they gonna do with that data? You don’t live there lol. Unless you’re working for the FBI or something, but in that case I hope the PRC spies on you a lot.
