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.
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.
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)

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

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.
building up a rep for the eventual defection to the PRC
Imagine sitting in a room at Pudong Airport explaining pig poop balls to a Chinese refugee asylum official. Magical times we live in.
