How do you know Taiwan doesn't have malicious state actors behind these backdoors? Is it because they aren't in a China ruled by the evil CCP?

Or could it be an insider job?

Some execs or managers demanding a backdoor, then secretly privately selling the secret password to various nation states and private security companies (for personal profit)

This is a valid possibility, interesting to see such double standards applied to different tech companies based on the residence of their HQ.
Why would they? Also, why expose it in such an obvious way?
