Can't stop me from running a local model. China has always been the boogeyman. Not that there aren't valid criticisms against the Chinese government but I'm tired of this when we do it it's good but when China does it it's bad mindset. Bring back Huawei and Xiaomi phones.

Edit: Also these so-called capitalists want to ban the superior product instead of competing. It seems to me that China makes superior products. Why learn from them when you can ban the competition?

    I’ve always liked the cheaper Chinese phones and products, and I honestly don’t understand what people are stressing about.

    I, personally, am not a huge power or some threat or anything important to be honest.

    My government might care about what I get up to but I really doubt my data is of much use to China at all.

    Every government is watching and tracking. But I highly doubt some random girl in Europe is a priority for China.

    Everyone has things to hide. It’s why we close the door when we poop. Just because your data is less valuable to a foreign government doesn’t make it better for you that they have or, nor better that you lose your privacy. Unless we demand open source and privacy first, without tracking and data sharing, we’re all screwed in the long run.
