Biden administration has raised serious concerns about collection of data by Chinese companies on US drivers and infrastructure as well as the potential foreign manipulation of vehicles
What’s your point? The Chinese government backdoored phone switches all over the world. Neither country should trust the other with vital communication or transportation infrastructure. Whataboutism does not equal trust.
When it’s an enemy nation yes it can be used as a point. This is also the exact same reason why China banned most things coming from the USA, and the things that make it there are very tightly controlled by China’s government
I’m not pro-China, but will probably sound that way here. We are all nation-states composed of arbitrary rules. We all think we are the best. We all think the others are less. We all do shitty things to our people. We also need each other to survive. It’s a clusterfuck that needs a fix. Xenophobia is never the answer.
It’s not about xenophobism, it’s about not relying on a nation that could have the incentive to flip the switch in a few years when they think it’s convenient for them. The US gov sees all the shiny and cheap stuff coming from China as trojan horses
Oh, yeah, the US Federal Government would neeevvverrr put backdoors into things. Not ever. Not BlackBerry, or iPhone, or messaging apps, or anything…
…oh, wait.

One cannot really use a universal fact shared between the two nations as a plot point.
