  They can load in spyware that follows you outside the country. Also the whole “of you aren’t intending to do anything illegal” but really reads like all the piece of shit bootlicking conservatives after George Floyd.

    They can’t do that unless they take your devices, gain admin access and install stuff onto it. You don’t just get spyware installed your phone simply by entering a country.

      People have said that is exactly what happens. Some had full phone scan, other requirement is installing a china app and keeping it on your phone for your stay

        I have never heard of that happening. surely that’ll take ages if they had to stick an app on every foreigner’s phone

  China isn’t exactly know for rule of law. They could simply decide you are a criminal. When traveling international it is better to play it safe.

    Doesn’t the USA do the exact same thing?

      I wouldn’t recommend travelling to the USA either

        I unironically think the USA’s security might be worse than China. Everyone in China was quite friendly and patient.

      It isn’t exactly the same thing but border security can do just about anything.

        They can, but they probably won’t in all likelihood. You could get in a car accident on the way to the airport. Your aeroplane could also crash.

  You have to install an app on your phone and keep it their during your visit. Some people said they had a full phone scan done on entry. Don’t bring your regular phone bring a burner and don’t login to any of your accounts

    You don’t. I went to China a few weeks ago and my phone was never of any suspicion or brought into question.
