The issue is that Chinese firms directly are owned and micro managed by the Chinese government. The US chooses to avoid electronics that are shown to have been part of China's spy efforts. China will, naturally, downplay this difference as if there is no difference at all. There is. Chinese companies directly assist China in spying on the West. US firms do not directly do so.
TFA is just a long Whataboutism [wikipedia.org] rant. The fact that Chinese firms acquiesce to demands from the Chinese government, in no way whatsoever excuses the misbehavior of the American government.
The Chinese judicial system is not comparable to the American system. They do not have an independent judiciary, so expecting a company to "challenge" an order doesn't make much sense. They also do not have an adversarial system, with a defense attorney and prosecutor trying to "win" regardless of the merits of the case
"in no way whatsoever excuses the misbehavior of the American government"
This story isn't about alleged misbehavior on the part of the American government. If Chinese companies do not fight government requests then what is to stop the government from gaining access to American trade secrets those companies become privy to including their own trade secrets where the companies are branches of US companies operating in China?
wow China should totally implement the rubber stamp FISA system, heck just back date some warrants and call it good. Justice is served.
