I keep seeing China getting blamed for this move that was only targeting US phones. While it's definitely possible China would have tried to also force implementation in China, if a government deserves blame for this move it's the US government.
I can't understand why so many people see a US company try to spy on US citizens and say China must be at fault.

This is extremely common - i.e. blame the immigrants stealing jobs, blame the muslims for eroding our religious institutions, blame literally anyone but "us". That's because it's so much easier to blame someone else for our own societal problems.
