As the title states, this is a thread to converse about Open Source hardware without any NSA, FSB or Chinese backdoors. What options might we have in the future and what options are available at the moment that are fully auditable against government-imposed backdoors?
Hardware backdoors you mean?
Because exploits will always exist and the west in particular will always pay well for them, plunge money into finding them, and exploit them for advanced malware and device surveillance and control campaigns.
There is zero credible evidence China, unlike the west deliberately puts hardware backdoors or spying equipment in their electronics. There is the likelihood they like all states use software exploitation of vulnerabilities to gain access to and conduct legitimate activities such as defense against hostile powers, surveillance of spies and agents and probable spies and agents for hostile powers, etc.
