But the UK is part of the 5 eyes, it makes more sense to use US backdoors than Chinese backdoors, despite both being undesirable to say the least.

That's weird and funny to me. Doesn't the UK have its own foreign policy that's distinctly different from the US view? Isn't there room for some selective divergence? Consider, for example, Ukraine, Syria, or Iraq. I wouldn't trust US sanctioned intelligence at all in those areas. Chinese influenced info might (sometimes/often) be more neutral.
