TP Link is a Chinese company. I won't trust them personally.
In China's current political status, it is impossible for Chinese companies to reject the autocratic government's requests for surveillance. You may endup in jail or even get killed.

Thus, I would prefer the US to China in this regard.
Statistically, you very likely own a Chinese manufactured router while using it to tell others here not to do the same.
It would be highly interesting if there would be a website where you could type in the name of a product (e.g. sime Cisco) router and it would give you a detailed decomposition of where and by whom is parts where made. Something like (highly simplified) : - CPU design: Company X - CPU manufacturing: Company - RAM design and manufacturing: Company Z - Overall remaining logic: Cisco
