The Chinese police might look at your DMs to see if you've talked about having an abortion... oh wait

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.

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)

Edit: correction in italics

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

the CPC didn't coup almost every government in the global south lol

Unfortunately you're probably more likely entertaining the NSA agent than Xi

Is there really no way to sideload Google services? Or even to use a different rom?

When you take a selfie with your 12 year old niece*

Federation with Hexbear is a gift that keeps on giving

Serious post: the new Huawei flagship phone looks pretty rad. I'll make the switch when my Sony breaks.
