Domestically the U.S. is still better, abet getting more repressive by the day.
Internationally however, and since I don't live in China more relevant to me, it's not so clear cut.
I'm not saying China is more moral than the U.S., I am simply saying that when it comes to international behavior the case for the U.S. being clearly more moral isn't as clear.
Personally, I'd prefer the EU to assert itself more independently from the U.S. so there's some counterbalance to it from democratic countries as well.
As for specifically Huawei, I don't want the NSA to have my data, but I know they already do, per Snowden. The case for Huawei having them is a lot less clear.
I know for some people it's 'obvious' that they do, but I'd like to work with cold, hard evidence.
Now, the U.S. is known for its outrageous overreach far, far outside its borders, just look at the Kim Dotcom raid, so the NSA having all the data has been demonstrated to have extremely negative implications.
The case against Huawei has not been made so convincingly and no, I do not trust the NSA/FBI to make the case.
