> The foreign actor has no jurisdiction over me.

You can be subjected to blackmail and/or other hostile actions from a foreign jurisdiction.

Is that more likely than blackmail and/or hostile actions from home jurisdiction?

I don't know what the likelihoods of either are but if I had to guess I would say that yes, hostile third countries are more dangerous than my own country.

Also, I consider that I would have more recourse against an actor from my own jurisdiction, I think you have pretty much zero recourse against the government of a hostile third country.

I don't trust even my own government. I'm not *more* worried about China messing with me. The NSA has more info on me that could potentially be used against me than Huawei. And I've never once seen a situation where the NSA digs data out of their vault to help exonerate an American on trial.
