Suspicious ties to the military, unlike American companies which are wholesome 100 and do not include backdoors for US intelligence.

Are you suggesting China’s military would readily buy encryption chips from, say, Raytheon or Northrop Grumman?

I suspect they would not.

If you were the Chinese military you probably wouldn't like American backdoors in your gear. The American military probably feels similarly.

If you were any military, you shouldn't like American backdoors in your gear. I guess people have already forgotten when Snowden revealed the US was spying on even its allies.
