I agree that's not how it works in most places but I don't assume to know the inner working of a Chinese iphone or the version of iOS it's running. If there is a financial incentive apple will bend for China while also saying it didn't.

    The way Facetime works is extensively documented and thoroughly audited by third parties - many of whom publish their findings.

    If China had a back door into Facetime, I suspect I'd know about it as someone who follows these things pretty closely.

    Right but none of it is open source so being extensively documented doesn't mean much and what I said still stands. You are assuming that what apple has told you is the truth with zero 3rd party audits of the underlying code.
