    What are they going to use instead?

    (Like, serious question, I want to know what the Chinese government recommends to avoid USican spyware.)

      probably a phone manufactured in china, running a fork of android without any of Google's proprietary software.

        The Xiaomi 13 is awesome. I would gladly take one over an iPhone.
        I use Xiaomi's LED lightbulbs in my apartment. They're equal build quality to the Phillips-Hue bulbs but less than 1/4th the price. The Xiaomi bulbs are also far more compatible with third party apps, including the hue app.

      My guess is that they're probably going to switch to Huawei phones. (But maybe if the local government is running on a budget they're going to be using Xiaomi phones instead.)
