For clarity, by the quoted text I meant … comparing different industries within the US, which of them have the highest security requirements? In no way was it a comment about how any industry in the US compares with any industry outside the US.
Implicit in my comment is that all US technology is potentially compromised by the US government and all Chinese technology is potentially compromised by the Chinese government etc. …
but in that case it makes perfect sense for the US government, and allied companies, to select US technology because the US government at least knows where the bodies are buried, as it were. Likewise the same argument, with appropriate changes, applies separately in China etc.
If you are outside the US and outside China, your best option is to encourage local development of technology. Take control of your sovereignty.
