The "hate" is the same as the backlash to Huawei, which is the suspicion that there's Chinese government-accessible backdoors that can cripple infrastructure.
However, as far as I'm aware none of that has been found yet. And since multiple countries have state-level and state-funded hackers / IT security experts who have the time, budget, and capability to completely dismantle and disassemble these devices (plus enthousiastic hobbyists), you'd think they would have found concrete evidence already. If there was any.
I have faith in "our" capacity to uncover backdoors.
