Will my Chinese router spy on me or is that an NSA/America

Cheap routers don't have the capability to 'spy' on you. Things that spy on you are operating systems and internet-service providers.

Look up CALEA. It applies to routers.

Just for the CHinese, but they're not so bad compared to ours.

I'm just making the point that there could be a backdoor in just about any router.

they don't automatically spy by themselves. rather the NSA backdoors routers, so if there's a target that can be attacked, while detection of said attack is unlikely(value of target/risk of detection), they will do it.
In other words, this isn't like W10 mass espionage, this is about backdooring routers so they can attack people more easily.

it's either being a part of the chinese botnet or the american botnet
you have to pick one or the other.
