    Lithuania Urges Its People to Throw Away Chinese Phones Over Censorship Fears.....

    A report released by the Defense Ministry's internet security body detailed the results of an August investigation that looked at the Xiaomi Mi 10T 5G, Huawei P40 5G and OnePlus 8T 5G—devices supplied to Lithuanian customers since 2020 and "identified as somewhat risky by the international community," said Abukevicius......snip~

    The Lithuanians know the stranglehold Communist Governments put on people. Small country with Big Balls to hit back at the evil of the CCP

    I would think the CCP rather off their game if they did not have these phones filled with back doors and spyware. That is how Commies have always operated.

    NEWSWEEK is not a credible source . Its ownership is secretive , and appears to be a South Korean who claims to be the second coming of Christ....(lol)....in any case , the article you link to , as usual has no evidence to verify it's stated claims . For all we know , the story may not even be known or even familiar to any Lithuanians themselves .

    CBS, ABC, Business Insider, Yahoo, Reuters and many of your commie friends are publishing the same story.
