Im saying any device that is used within Chinese internet or data can have its root changed account to my uncle. As I said in my original comment I wonder if that’s possible and if it was why wouldn’t the NSA do it too. Or is it just redscare? He’s the head sysadmin for a large multi branch company BUT his field isn’t China, he got that from a colleague. So idk what to do with that info. My university has teams in China and they don’t worry about this. I decided to not worry about it.

Tin foil hat on it sounds possible and I’m sure it could be done in the US too but I am not an expert at all.
