Yes any government COULD do this but there would be loads of red tape and negotiating with manufactures. Chinese manufactures have no choice, they ship surveillance software when they are told to or they don’t get to sell internationally.
Any other government would have to work with manufactures operating in other countries, it would be a big project to get all the different parties involved on the same page quietly.
The Chinese government can dictate what Chinese manufactures do, there is no negotiating or wrangling, just you do it or you are replaced by someone who can. Non compliant business don’t get to be international businesses.
Just China?
