Only if they abused it. If it's a government CA, and they use it only to trap pedophiles and ISIL, I don't see them doing anything.

I’m pretty sure browsers will de-trust CAs that intentionally sign forged certificates regardless of what they’re used for.

Only pedophiles and ISIL need encryption, so what are you worried about... just do all your banking etc. over plain HTTP... I'm sure no foreign governments are listening on ANY compromised devices in the middle, or have any motivations you disagree with.
