When India wanted specialised secure communication equipment for confidential diplomatic communications between its government and embassies, they ordered it from a European country to avoid spying by the US. Unknown to them, the US approached the European country and convinced them to sell compromised equipment that would enable the US to spy on indian diplomatic cables. Cisco has worked with US agencies to sell compromised routers to many countries. Chinese security camera and routers have been found to have backdoors in them. That is just the minimum extent of international spying. I have no qualms in claiming that you are ignorant if you think AMD / Intel management engines (built to enable remote management) sold to specific foreign government agencies haven't been root-kitted for spying.

Intel's Management Engine is a security hazard, and users need a way to disable it - https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/05/intels-management-engi...
