I have empathy for many people.

Do you? Even about Palestinians and Yemeni and Saudi Arabians?

Disagree. You should spend time in Asia and talk to the people there, follow the news, etc. You might learn something.

Disagree all you want. The fact that NSA has software in all routers and hard drive firmware and sim cards has been widely reported.

Yes, of course. Why do you keep bringing them up? What do they have to do with Chinese cars? I genuinely don't understand why you are on about this.

No, it is reported they put backdoors in US-made routers. Your claims of "all" are nonsense.

But even if we agree on this fact, I am less concerned about it. Why? Because I can badmouth the US government and have no fear of being detained if I travel there. The same cannot be said about China, as another poster has already pointed out.
