First, let's start with Kaspersky. Fact: this company was founded by a former KGB agent. Fact: this company has gone well beyond the scope of a cyber defense company. Ties to Russian intelligence are undisputed. There are dozens of articles on this subject. Lack of trust is the concern.
Second, China. This is a communist nation that is actively involved in well documented horrors against its people. There are hundreds of articles documenting contemporary atrocities, human rights violations, and crimes against humanity. In addition, there are numerous articles documenting evidence of intentionally designed and placed backdoors in various Chinese products as dictated by Chinese government mandates. Huawei is tip of the iceberg. Egregious violations of human rights and lack of trust are the concerns.
