Re: from countries with which there are extradition agreements
I'm just saying you need to work out where the assumed threat is from. If you are worried about the Chinese state, perhaps avoid Chinese built devices, as they might arrive natively compromised. If you are worried about hostile actions from some other state, then perhaps worry about devices from there, for essentially equivalent reasons.
But then I suppose you *still* have to worry about your "safe origin" device being (later) compromised by whoever your adversary is, even if it might have been originally (in principle) "safer".
