china isn't much better - they're much more notorious for their backdoors.

edit: before (admittedly you all already have) started throwing pitchforks at me for being a glowie, i live in eastern europe, and am an anarchist. i am no way saying that the U.S. has not done it's fair share of global surveillance - honestly i'm more concerned about the U.S. because they seem to have their claws in about every single service and company. i just don't think we should be absolving china of all of their wrongdoings just because they're an enemy to the U.S.
