What do you say to observers who would see this analysis as a parallel to the huawei or Tiktok western argument, meaning, "don't let them spy on you, let us spy on you instead!!!"

Isn't this the opposite? It is warning that WeChat's security might be weak since it is using weird non-standard stuff which means everyone might be able to spy on WeChat users, not just China. If WeChat fixed this then only China would be able to spy on the users.
