In 2016 I blew the whistle on Chinese cameras at our embassy in Kabul and at US bases (see for example https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/09/us_kabul_embassy_buying_chinese_security_cameras.html).
This is just the start. Between the china-spyware and the Hezbollah pager fiasco, any self respecting country will need to start producing its own communication and surveillance equipment.
A very well written treatise which is off topic but in dire need of amplification (Swiss "blogger" who has some serious chops; I encourage you to read about him under "About") .
Thanks for the URL. Absolutely essential, with real but not hyped details. Read it. And Putin? One’s admiration just increases. Sui generis in a sea of global mediocrity. If Russians wept in the streets when Bloody Joe finally expired, who will step up after Putin?
I would expect that camera's used in sensitive places get a thorough inspection. Has there been actual proof of Chinese electronics spying on people and having backdoors? We blame China, coincidental when the trade war started and China becomes the new global leader, yet I haven't seen hard evidence of China exploiting electronic devices. What we do know is that the west, mostly the USA is spying on everyone and demanding backdoors, which is proven in multiple occasions.

I hope all NATO countries and allies will now ban all equipment compromised by any Chinese involvement in components or production.
Oh... hang on... that would be economic suicide.

At least the cameras didn't explode.
If China takes back Taiwan, will the 99% of large scale integrated circuits in the world made by TSMC be considered Chinese products?
Keep your pagers
Pagers are museum pieces.
