Question that I’ve been mulling over recently: My threat model dictates that I’m more likely to be surveilled by the US government than by the Chinese government. We can also assume that the Chinese government is not going to cooperate with the US government in any investigations of potential activist activity.
Would it not be best, then, to use a Chinese-made phone that, even though we know that information is going to China, we can also assume that any backdoors in the system are unknown to the US Gov?
I’m interested in everyone’s take on this.


Literally a country dictated by it’s individuals
Im sure the people in prison in China for trying to unionize but being denied because the state ran union decided it was again the “national” interest agree with you.
You have to admit that relative to America which leans more towards individual rights, China leans more towards collective rights.
