Comment on Server access from China

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

You have no idea how small these snooping apps can be. Like less than a megabyte and all your traffic goes through a server controlled by the pla and logs everything in and out of your phone whether your on mobile or Wi-Fi.
