Does it really matter? If you are in China, sure, but if you are a non-Chinese citizen you are better off having someone else than your local version of NSA harvest your data. It is not like some other nations police will knock down your door or put you on a watch-list that gets you anal probed at the local airport.

I would worry a lot more about NSA, Apple, Google and Facebook (if you are American at least) than Huawei.

Sadly, 'your local NSA' is probably working with other nations' NSA. It has been already mentioned before in the leaked documents that governments use other nations' intelligence agencies to spy on their own people 'legally'.

No, it hasn't. No leaked document says that. Instead, there is a well known understanding for the opposite. https://www.lawfareblog.com/i-spy-you-spy-we-all-spy
