So that the USA can do the exact same thing to other countries? I have zero reason to believe that the us intelligence apparatus won't be exactly as intrusive as chinas when it comes to inserting themselves in tech companies, and plenty of reasons to believe otherwise (intentionally inserting back doors in cryptography standards, wire tapping fiber owned by tech companies, forcing tech companies to provide data on their customers, etc)
You are talking sideways to the person you are replying to. The US national security imperative should be securing manufacture of critical components.
If the intelligence apparatus abuses that for the purpose of spying on foreign governments that is an entirely unrelated issue. Their security is their problem.
Yes it'd be the same. So either your country become strong and handle your own affair, at a cost acceptable to your population, or you align with country(ies) with that capability that share your interest and belief, such as EU. But depending on your adversaries puts you on a very shaky ground.
