As an American, I'd rather have a foreign actor spying on me than my own government. The foreign actor has no jurisdiction over me.

Foreign actor doesn't have to abide by the Fourth Amendment either. They can just show the US whatever they want without a warrant.

With all the events happening right now I find it really hard to justify buying products made in China/Russia/Belarus. This product looks great, but I'll never have a clean conscious knowing my money is by extension financing terrorists.

Why are you lumping China with the actual invaders? There's the Taiwan mess, and China don't participate in the sanctions regime, but it's not the same thing as actively invading. ( For the record, i think that sanctioning Russia is the morally correct thing to do)

China refuses to condemn Russia and is towing their "peacekeeping" "denazification" line.

China is currently having about 18 border disputes. Amongst all the non land grabbing stuff they are doing.

That's ridiculous. Japan has a load of border disputes, and pacifism is literally written into their constitution. Most countries in east asia have them.

> it has 4 A freaking eInk tablet with microphones what the hell lol edit formatting...

They have a function for it. From TFA: "Capture detail in every meeting with audio recording and notes. Make a mark on your recording while taking notes, then tap on the mark to play the exact audio clip. Review your content more clearly and efficiently."

This is pretty clever. If I recall, the LiveScribe Smart Pen had/has this feature. You just draw some symbol and tap it, and it inserts a voice recording at that spot. Surprised this isn't standard on these products now.

So how do you connect to the internet? Have you managed to build and assemble your phone/laptop/computer yourself, using custom chips also designed by you, in order to the stay away from the spyware, or do you care only about Huawei's spyware?

The US would still be required to abide by the Fourth Amendment though.
