If you were the Chinese military you probably wouldn't like American backdoors in your gear. The American military probably feels similarly.
Sure. However not everyone can make everything so if you have to buy something and if that's got a backdoor in it, it's probably preferable to be from an allied country. It's all about risk mitigation.
The world does know what happened, Snowden was treated a terrorist.
Free speech, am I right?
Are you suggesting China’s military would readily buy encryption chips from, say, Raytheon or Northrop Grumman?
I suspect they would not.
