Isn't the issue that a lot of these devices have vulnerabilities and aren't updated often enough, rather than the device being of Chinese origin? You look at hardware for the home market, and most haven't received an update in years, if not a decade. Widely deployed hardware with out of date software seems like it's just a script to crawl home IP address spaces, like a Metasploit module, no?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the link to Chinese vs. non-Chinese router vendors?
