Home is where my government has a backdoor https://www.engadget.com/2018/02/14/fbi-nsa-cia-warn-against-huawei-smartphones/ …
The NSA is not targeting Foxconn or other Chinese phone makers. I think it is not unreasonable to assume that not only the US installs backdoors, and someone really saw grounds to be upset.

"NSA is not targeting Foxconn etc" is unlikely. Evidence of related cases (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/09/nsa-spying-brazil-oil-petrobras … / https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/04/nsa-spied-on-eu-politicians-and-companies-with-help-from-german-intelligence/ … etc.etc.etc) points towards a different reality. The interesting question for me is, how much are NSA & Chinas efforts privatised and unified by now?

The US government makes a suspicious show of being angry at Apple for crypto, but does not warn against their Chinese suppliers. State surveillance is not fully privatized, because it needs to be tightly controlled, and US and China governments are not allies but competitors.
