>Are you implying that it's going to do something nefarious because it's made by an Asian/Chinese company?

No. I'm implying it might because it's a 'smart' device. All sorts of American/British/Western European 'smart' devices are horrendously insecure too. Also, in the case of china, for example huawei, the government/manufacturer collusion goes far deeper than in the west; i.e. the surveillance portion is installed in the factory rather than later via exploits.
