Agree. If you are not from China and have no ties, buying a Chinese phone is the lesser evil than buying a US phone.

I mean... Chinese phone or not you're still using Android (and probably a bit of firmware too) that is made in the US.

So you are buying phones direct from Chinese vendors and you dont live in China...

Why not buy phones from another country (not China or US) then?

You do you

Article is a pathetic paid propaganda hit piece.

Google switched maps and gmail domains to be subdomains of google.com, so whenever you use maps u give google.com your full location permissions - but noone bats an eye or even "concerned".

Sorry - I'm way way more concerned about us gov spying on me then Chinese - they can't reach me to f me over.
