On Coast to Coast AM last night, a guest predicted that the US public would get fed up with insecure American (branded) electronics and China seeing a commercial opportunity would develop them, circumventing our domestic snoops. I find that prediction highly plausible.

They don't even need to do that. There are plenty of third party encryption apps out there that will encrypt your data for you. Only Apple provides a built-in end-to-end standard 256bit AES encryption of everything. . . Android expects the user or a vendor to provide it as a bolt-on app and then only a partial encryption is provided. . . but it can still work to keep prying eyes out.
