Most people distrust GAFA as much as they do Beijing, and assume that their own government is spying on them.

Mostly. Except Apple. Because Apple respects people's privacy.

Apple are a US corporate and obey US national security laws, with all that that entails.

Sure, they will comply with US laws and police investigations where appropriate. What they won't do is provide a back door to their OS's, as history has demonstrated.

Any system with a US OS is reasonably easy pickings for the NSA and by extension the governments of Western nations.

Yeah, except if it is encrypted.

As for privacy, I guess it depends upon whom you don't want to be tracked by.

Any system with a US OS is reasonably easy pickings for the NSA and by extension the governments of Western nations. That includes systems in China-allied nations. The USG's anti-Huawei crusade has undermined that highly useful 'access', speeding up the roll-out of a China-centric family of OSs that will be a bit harder for the NSA to productively explore, giving Chinese-allied users more privacy from Uncle Sam.

I'm sure NSA spooks would have much preferred everyone to still be using US-based systems.

I couldn’t use it cuz of my social credit score. I tried but they told me that I need to stop reading The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers, they were kind and said “You can finish reading page 255”.

Enforced use of Google apps is a memory hogging, endlessly updating pain on Android. Google services are available from any browser on any smartphone.

All the US have done is forced a competitor to innovate faster. It will be interesting to see how it works.

Google needs some competition. It's too much of a monopoly.

Great news, Can't wait to have a phone free from US corporate dominance.

Huawei make great products that don't shatter when you drop them on a pillow..Apple fanboys!
