    developing the global south is a win in my book, but backdoors are obviously bad, though it seems less of a downside than what the west provides

        What am I meant to say? They shouldn’t have bought Chinese or privatised their infrastructure if it was that big of a deal

        Besides, the only solution is local alternatives, USA does the same as China

          you’re right, they shouldn’t have, but corruption is unfortunately a thing and now what you wrote feels a bit like victim blaming 😄

            The victim is the government and they usually have a board to talk things through, it would be different if it was an individual decision
