        Elsewhere in China, phone inspections may not be standard but targeted. Although broader surveillance like the National Anti‑Fraud Center may be used.

    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.

        Lol you just flew half way around the world to get there and now you’re going to not give them your code. And yeah, they probably don’t need it anyways.

        You go ahead and try that, let us know how it works out for you if you make it back.

        Simple solution to every other dumb shit question you’re going to ask; just bring a fucking burner device not logged into anything!

        Jesus, I got this fence post out in my yard if you wanna continue this non argument.
