Well, it doesn't really, except that you mentioned the US trade ban, which brings the reason for the US trade ban into the topic at least tangentially.
I mentioned trade ban in the context of this new technology not being available in US, jumping from that to the eViL SeE SEe PeE is spying on me is quite the leap there.
Oh, I agree it's a leap. It's just slightly less of a leap than complaining about the NSA. I'm not saying you're wrong about the knee-jerk reaction some Americans have to Chinese tech and China in general.
It's just that the sputtering nonsense makes very slightly more sense after you mentioned the ban in the original post. You opened a crack in the door, is what I'm saying, and if an American Jingoist Asshat can get his head in the crack, he's gonna get all the way in.
I can't argue with that :)
