  It would have to phone home over the great firewall, which is the point

    Uhh they let that sort of information in no problem. The firewall is more for random citizens not corporate servers.

    But it would still phone home though? It’s not like great firewall blocks all traffic, it blocks traffic the CCP doesn’t like.

    I know people who watch Chinese dramas on those Chinese streaming apps here in Europe. The great firewall doesn’t block everything. And it’s mostly for outgoing traffic. Like people in China can’t get on Facebook, but people outside of China can get on WeChat, though making an account outside of China is impossible.

      No it isn’t, I’ve done so.

  From a European perspective, at this stage I think I’d prefer the Chinese tech over the American.

  Yes. The way things ate going, at some point it may become less harmful and easier to deal with unwanted Chinese tech than American. Pay much lower profit margins as a bonus.
