Fuck China.

Like in the English version of "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"; with a great big dildo that needs a mallet to insert.

I wouldn’t expect anything less of the PRC but aren’t backdoors commonplace in Silicon Valley too?

Lots of well-used backdoors everywhere. It's human nature to use them. "Check out that awesome backdoor - to hell with what anyone thinks, I'm going in!". Even among a quiet majority of the ladies. And in all sorts of unexpected places, like church. Or farm country. Or up in the oil sands. And especially in Quebec. Hell, it's practically written into the national constitution of countries like Holland that no backdoor will be left unexplored.

We're still talking about sex, right?

Not intentional, no. Most often they miss a race condition, or forget to check the length of inputs. Something that leaves a vulnerability that can be misused.

But law enforcement is pushing to insert flaws that they can use in encryption, for 'law enforcement purposes'.
