Ha! The UK has NO room to talk about anyone else being a surveillance state! It’s not a coincidence that things like 1984, Max Headroom (“An off-switch? You can get ten years for that!”), and V for Vendetta are set in England.
That said, though, equipment from China should be banned from any sensitive use for any number of other reasons, such as source dependency (not necessarily on one company but certainly one country), rampant spyware, rampany copyright infringement, etc.
