Americans need to realize that, outside the US, nobody really cares anymore about the trope "China is tracking mobile apps". The reason is that everyone knows that US agencies are already doing this (remember Snowden?). So non-US customers feel that is just fine for competition if other countries can provide them with technology, even with the downside of the sporadic spying thing. It basically is better to have competition than being in the hands of a single superpower which, as Donald Trump has shown, can easily become out of control.

By the way, nothing was better for China than the big show provided by Trump and his minions in the US during the last four years. It showed that nobody can trust 100% on the US to uphold democratic values.
