        Yes, I absolutely can. This is why I choose to support China. It’s neither authoritarian, nor a shithole.

        As a fellow centrist, I’m sad I can’t give you both an upvote and a downvote at the same time.

    Proud owner of Huawei 2018 Matebook X Pro. Beautiful laptop, still running strong today. I put on Manjaro and KDE. I had Huawei products before they were cool

    I would swap to Huawei next time i have to replace my phone but Canada has barred them from 5G networks and will likely further stifle them in the future. By the time I’m changing phones years down the road I expect Huawei won’t even be available in Canada.

      I’m in the same boat with wanting Huawei but living in Canada. They’re messing with Huawei because of suspected “spying” right? So why aren’t they doing the same with other phone brands?

    What is most likely?

    • Chinese company building better technology that can’t be compromised by westoid espionage, or
    • Rebels fighting a high-tech surveillance empire practiced good opsec by relying on analog communication

    Okay, both are likely. I still think the latter is most likely though.

      Not mutually exclusive. They obviously must have good opsec, and having secure phones is part of that.
