From my understanding anyone in China has to comply with their tyrannical government. Based on that and knowing how China has already been spying on other countries (think TikTok for one example), I really don't want something technological in my house which is made in China. It's not based in racism. I'm looking at facts of how a particular government chooses to conduct itself. I'm choosing not to allow myself to be potentially surveillaled when I have the ability to easily prevent it.
Fair enough. But their products can be flashed with open spurce firmware, like klipper and marlin. That should remove any spying that would happen.
Of course, if you're worried about spying, don't get the closed source stuff like bambu or whatever, but there are those where you can just flash a new firmware on it.
