  Another reason to take a burner instead if you have to travel to China.

      True, but some people may not have a choice because of work or family.

    The data is still valuable and most importantly it’s a way to spy on any visitor.

  Of course they will try to get everything from your phone. They are neither better nor worse than their American counterparts.

  I would never take a personal PC or phone into either country, and whatever I’d bring back I would consider compromized.

  Just mail yourself your real phone

    That’s not much better tbh. Remote VPN into your computer/NAS at home, otherwise just live with a burner while you’re there.
