All those allegations that China is using TP-Link routers to spy or to lay the groundworks for attacks or whatever have cost the California-based but Chinese-owned company $1 billion, according to a lawsuit filed by TP-Link against Netgear.
Fwiw, the allegations began in Washington and were wholly unfounded, but that hasn't slowed the drumbeat to ban TP-Link.

No evidence that TP-Link routers are a Chinese security threat
Despite a request for a US government investigation into Chinese-made TP-Link, evidence presented by a US House committee fails to support allegations they are a national security risk, experts say.

Yet another complicated look at a Chinese-American immigrant experience, wrapped into a queer romance with a dose of spirituality in there as well. I think the background metaphor of falling is really strong, and gets used in so many senses it's beautiful.
