Kind of ironic you bought a burner phone to avoid Chinese surveillance then turn around and buy a Huawei phone

But he bought that phone as a burner phone. So then it doesn't matter that it is Huawei right? Apart from supporting them.

What difference does it make? Even if the Huawei phone is doing surveillance on its own (and no one credible has ever come up with evidence that this is the case, even though it would be easy to discover), it's got WeChat on it which we know scans every possible Android location and network API all the time and is in constant encrypted communication with the mothership.

>>mfatic+(OP)
I read that as the Huawei phone being the burner phone, which is the point.

Maybe he can save a little time at the border by buying the phone that already reports back to the Communist Party, avoiding the hassle of having the border agents install the spyware while you wait.
