A while ago, I remember some tech company discovering a specific model of a Huawei phone to have spyware preinstalled on it. How widespread is this in Chinese smartphones? Do I run risk of getting spied on if I buy the OnePlus 5?
I already enjoyed using the OnePlus 2 the past 2 years, but it died a few days ago due to liquid damage (don't ask).
Question is in the subject title. Thanks in advance, anons!

NSA can arrest you, the chink counterpart can't/won't.

I made a typo with 'censoring'. Fuck it, it's too late to edit it in GIMP now. I'll just leave it up.

Thanks. So is the Chinese gov more interested in spying on its own citizens than people abroad? I've been out of the tech community for a few years now, so I have a lot to catch up on.

Most known Chinese hardware/software backdoors are those used by vendors/ads providers to collect usage statistics/push ads notifications etc. And if you use a 3rd party ROM you eliminate the software backdoors. So yes they spy on you and so do everyone else, and no they don't target you specifically.
