I find it funny when libs say not to buy Chinese phones because they "may" send data to the CPC (because they connect to the internet from time to time, so scary!)
What can the CPC do worse than my own government can't? Like you should be more scared of the government you live under, not one that's some 3000 miles away or whatever.
Don't buy Apple, it leaks data to the CIA.
The Chinese police might look at your DMs to see if you've talked about having an abortion... oh wait
Borgerland rule
Libs tend to assume that the "bad guy country" is 100 times worse than their own at all times, at all things. So if the US cops wantonly murder people in the street and the CIA tracks the calls of every US citizen, China must do all that but like...more. They're just better at hiding it.
Honestly I would rather Xi read my texts than all the feds Google is probably selling my data to.
I'm just like, if the CPC is spying on my shit, then that's just gonna be good for me if I ever decide to try and flee to there lol.
3000 miles away or whatever
Fun fact, the closest distance from mainland USA to China is still over 7000 miles, the lower 48 is around 3000 miles coast to coast. (Don't worry, I totally understand the rest of the comment, I just figured I'd provide additional context to point out just how preposterous the original joke is)

This is commie input (and correction!) without being an asshole. I love it here
Like you should be more scared of the government you live under, not one that’s some 3000 miles away or whatever.
This.
And Libs are so Apple loving that it had to fear monger to keep the loot going by keeping Huawei at bay.
Im sure Im already on the CIA’s/FBI’s list, might as well keep using the phone I already have
I recently bought a new phone from OnePlus and when looking at the specs online, one of the cons was: may leak data to Chinese government.
I hope not, they might find out I'm a commie or something
If you dislike the stock OS, or find it too bloated, you can flash LineageOS anytime. Most of the OnePluses are supported. It's a way better experience than any stock Android imho.
Except for the camera quality normally, because all of that A.I. assisted image processing is proprietary code.
Oh yeah, there are GCam variants and such, or even stock ones to sideload. Though I personally don't use them
LMAO
TBF it would probably be easier for China to just keep a list of westerners that DON'T feel genocidal hatred towards them.
Which phone? 4G or 5G? How much did it cost? Still using Poco F1 bought in 2018.
OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G. It cost me 200 euro I think on discount from 229.
i wish xi saw my posts 
Xi blessing your TL
he sadly is to busy bringing Utopia to the chinese people... It is horrible , you can not even be angry at him about it.
I paid 250€ for my current Xiaomi and I love it. It's ridiculous how good the phone is compared to its cheap price. No way I will stop using Chinese phones (especially since the CIA is a lot scarier than the CPC)
I love how, with the Snowden leaks and more, we know definitively that the US government is collecting all our data but people are super scared right now that China might be spying on them.
One thing's for sure: capitalism seems to be miles ahead of any socialist country when it comes to propagandizing their citizens. Because the best propaganda is the kind that you don't even know is there.
Lol, the US 3 letter agencies are more likely to disappear me than anyone in China.
Same, xiaomi phones are 10x better than samshits for a third of the price. Really funny that the with the US blocking huawei, and now soon xiaomi, that the US will have access to only the worst phones.
lET ThE FREe mArkET dEciDe!!
I might start looking at Xiaomi next... I started with Huawei but they're getting expensive now. Still very good phones, best camera on the market on the P50 pro at the time, but they're iPhone prices now
Xiaomi phones are extremely good...i'm too deeply entrenched in Apple's ecosystem though.
Same, I will escape one day though
the CPC didn't coup almost every government in the global south lol
Suggestions? My Motorola is getting rather dated. Do they still have aux ports? I hate the trend of companies getting rid of them.
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro. I am happy to report that it has an aux port.
I'd rather entertain Xi than some NSA loser, honestly.
Unfortunately you're probably more likely entertaining the NSA agent than Xi
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
No Google services on Huawei is a big deal for a lot of people sadly. I know most left wing tech activists hate google services (and for good reason), but your everyday person just wants their google maps and photos to work.
I had a Huawei phone before all the nonsense happened, and it was pretty cool and great value for money hardware wise (one of the first with multiple cameras, great photos for the time), but the iOS rip off Android skin (EMUI I think) was super annoying.
I think nowdays Xiaomi is the best option in the budget Chinese phone market. Can't beat a 120Hz refresh rate AMOLED display on a sub 200 US dollar phone with Google services.
Is there really no way to sideload Google services? Or even to use a different rom?
LineageOS has no actively maintained builds for Huawei devices (but they used to, fairly recently) and it's a very limited selection of older devices for /e/OS.
idk much about rooting but if you can do it on the stock OS, you can install microG and get bare minimum features like push notifs working.
also FUCK google for locking essential features behind their pooprietary services. they will not be spared in the revolution.
Huawei has made it impossible to unlock your bootloader, thus flashing other ROMs doesn't work now.
Can't even use Huawei in canada anymore. So much for the "free market"
When you send a good joke from your iPhone the last panel is

Thats really bad.
Federation with Hexbear is a gift that keeps on giving
~Senpai noticed me~ UwU
Serious post: the new Huawei flagship phone looks pretty rad. I'll make the switch when my Sony breaks.
Interesting fact US government entities, agencies, organizations, contractors, have to get a form called an 889 from any organization or business that they want to buy from. With that state that the organization does not sell or use Huawei or ZTE products in any way.
