Its almost as if Chinese companies are either just arms of the state, or thoroughly infiltrated by state actors! I don't think US-based hardware manufacturers are really any better though.

How do you know Taiwan doesn't have malicious state actors behind these backdoors? Is it because they aren't in a China ruled by the evil CCP?
Some execs or managers demanding a backdoor, then secretly privately selling the secret password to various nation states and private security companies (for personal profit)
