But can they prove it without revealing their own backdoors?
Or explaining why they allow those backdoors exist in the first place?
A question to Europeans reading this- If you had to assume that U.S. 5G equipment manufacturers would provide backdoors to U.S. officials, and Chinese 5G equipment manufacturers would provide backdoors to Chinese officials, and Europeans had to use one or the other, which would you choose?

I had totally thought after Apple and Microsoft were caught working on PRISM Americans and corporations would be doing drastic steps to avoid their communication being intercepted.
But for some reason that never happened.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

just so we're clear, are we talking about lawful intercept (ie. capabilities built into the system so the telecom can comply with warrants), or dragnet or otherwise warantless surveillance? I'm not against "backdoors" for the former, but am against "backdoors" for the latter.

As an American, I choose European / EU 5G equipment in all scenarios over Chinese 5G equipment. I don't care what the cost is.
Europe, broadly (other than Russia primarily), is aligned with the US in all the ways that matter and will continue to be. China is not in almost any regard. The sole things the US and China have in common is trade and that the next century will be defined by persistent US-China superpower tension all around the world and in most all respects.

The answer is you choose the one which is the closer ally. Which, given the lack of US 5G manufacturers, is exactly the choice the US has already made.
