It's a long time lobbying effort to keep TP Link's share in check.

On a side note, I really don't understand the logic of you guys. You should be MUCH MORE concerned about US government monitoring your data when you live in the US, because you actually live within the US jurisdiction and they can actually do something about you, unlike the Chinese government which is 10000 miles away. US companies like Google/Apple/Netgear are legally required to hand over your information to government agencies like FBI/CIA/NSA/IRS when requested, and in many cases they already work with the government extensively with backdoors so no warrant is needed. Since you live the US and are within the jurisdiction of FBI/NSA/IRS, they can actually use your personal data they collected against you. The Chinese government, on the other hand, is not going to cause any harm to you personally. Ironically, if you are truly concerned about the government collecting your data, you should use a Chinese device in the US, and an American device in China. Worrying about TP-link while ignoring the bigger elephant in the room is just laughable.

Rather they should be more concerned about potential security vulnerabilities on their router which lets bad actors use their internet connection unknowingly. There are people who take over insecure routers and also sell that access to other criminals. Those that are lucky will only have their internet used in something like part of a DDOS attack. However some internet connections end up being used for things like accessing child pornography or using stolen credit cards to buy online gift cards. There are people in many countries who have been contacted by the authorities because of this and some even had their home raided and their computer and other devices seized.
