freitasm: Probably safer to drink Mexican beer made with Mexican water than Chinese beer with their water. The polution in some places there is just incredible ;)

It's no so much the Chinese water - it's the formaldehyde they used to add to the beer!

Maybe those in NZ with concerns about privacy or espionage ought to be more concerned about the US Patriot Act, which, in simple terms, makes anything stored on servers located on US soil accessible to the US govt.

Or is that those who are worried trust the US not to mis-use that information in any way, but don't trust the Chinese to do the same?

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

as the old adage goes if you don't want others to know what your putting online then use strong encryption simple as that

I personally don't put anything online that I don't want/care that the whole world to knows everything else is stored encrypted

It's not like Huawei are a new thing in NZ. A good chunk of Vodafone's mobile 3G hardware for the past few years or so in NZ has been rebranded Huawei gear.

All governments are corrupt to a certain extent, just the amount and the publicity thereof varies.

Not only servers located on US soil, but also servers of US companies on any soil I believe.

Eg. Google might store your gmails on a server in Australia, but if the US Govt wants them they simply have to ask Google US to provide them by simply citing the Patriot Act.
