Since then there has been a movement to reduce Chinese vendors in general our if security concerns, as well as to improve the security posture of the mobile networks by doing things like "encrypting connections" and "switching away from telnet".
On the other hand, the Chinese managed to break into the US wiretapping system, so it's not like other networks aren't vulnerable either.
SW coming out of Korea's domestic industry giants isn't any better. Because they used to treat SW like a cost center or another item on the BoM.
IIRC, the only way to do online banking in Korea years ago, was you needed Internet explorer and some active-X plugin that supported encryption.
Some Korean giants do have good SW, but a lot of it is developed internationally by offices outside of Korea.

There are many ethnicities in China, people of all genetic backgrounds. It is the culture that is the problem, not the race.
For example, there are many ethnically Chinese people who grew up in the West, working in businesses, in countries where there is a culture of security.
Now, you could label it 'culturalist', and maybe it is, but there are definitely inferior and superior cultures. Especially, there are parts of cultures which are quite comparable this way.
Security and encryption is taken as a given by Western regulators given how many times they pass laws to break encryption. If you look at targeted 0-days, the conclusion would be more along the lines of the very best hardware+software is barely secure.

This just seems like nitpicking to me. Colloquially most people would classify discrimination based on country of origin, or "culture" (whatever that means) as racism, even if it doesn't meet the technical definition. For instance Trump's travel bans have been called by many as "racist", even though it covers a bunch of countries, and even though the countries are majority muslim, it also excludes major muslim countries like Pakistan and Indonesia.
Now, we do still need to respect cultural differences where it makes sense and consider the historical context behind cultural differences, such as colonialism.
Nobody is going to believe you're talking about real things if you let people call your argument "racism" so it's not nitpicking if you can explain why it's not. Also the word "discrimination" is itself a loaded term.
And yes areas having cultures is real. Sometimes it's tied to country, sometimes it's not.
> Trump's travel bans have been called by many as "racist", even though it covers a bunch of countries,
I'm confused? Covering a whole bunch of countries sharing a demographic is much more likely to be a racist move than picking one or two.
> and even though the countries are majority muslim, it also excludes major muslim countries like Pakistan and Indonesia.
That's a good argument against saying "muslim ban" but I'm pretty sure a focus on the middle east makes it more about race.
I've worked in many restaurants and a lot of the health scores are stacked against ethnic restaurants and how they prepare foods.
Your score gets knocked down if you have soups simmering for too long, but in Chinese cuisine it's often times common to have the broth cooking for more than 12 hours.
