This may be coming from a place of ignorance but what guarantees are there that there is not some kind of security flaw on a hardware level? I don't know what kind of audits or protections are there now but with Chinese suppliers in particular, I would be leery of potential issues. There was rumors/claims of certain server mobos being built with extra chips or exploits a couple years back.
Shouldn't we ask the same question about products from the U.S.?
Yes, we should be asking that for all suppliers.
An yet you could say both countries are likely to have backdoor in your hardware. Which would you be more worried about though? Owning the local country hardware where they can then spy on you and bust in your door? Or the foreign hardware
I don't want a shit sandwich either way, just because one is imported and one is local doesn't make either taste better.
