>Despite warnings from the FBI, CIA and NSA that phones from Chinese companies such as Huawei may be used to spy on them, citizens across Europe continue to buy the devices, lured inexplicably by their affordable prices and increasingly premium specs and build quality.
>Huawei has said shipments to Europe grew more than 50 percent in the first half of 2017. In two major smartphone markets – Italy and Spain – Huawei now reportedly ships more phones than Samsung or Apple.
Well, duh.

How about the FBI, CIA and NSA follow their own advice and stay the fuck away from my things
>please buy our spyware so the chinks cant spy on you
lol
paranoid much?
it's funny because cia and nsa literally uses apple phones to spy on people
and eu knew the difference
the warnings were for US citizens, why would europoors feel obligated to listen
t. Marcos Xiang Lopez Wong
"despite warnings" no one said obligation
it's not like they can't spy on chinese phones
i don't care about being spied on but i bought one xioami for my mother
it was completely shit, slow, buggy, stopped working fast
wasted money, i won't buy one again
why aren't they using Samsung phones?
they're affordable and high of quality as well
people like choice
let them learn the hard way when they find out china's tapping all their shit. no skin off our backs, they don't pay US taxes
Odd how Europe has never developed any smart phone of their own.
One plus,xiaomi and huawei are better than anything from america
>make thread about chinkphones
>instantly fills up with Third Worlders
Without fail.
Ahem
European cunts have never been all that good at technology for a variety of reasons--the personal computer revolution started in the US for one thing.
>N-no! Don't let the Chinese spy on you! Let us spy on you instead!
Sincerely, Burgers
>majority of posts made made by americans
really makes u think
want to preserve my privacy, will stick with my iphone thank you very much
Nokia doesn't count?
>my white ass is on fire
Europeans have always been traitors anyway. Back in the day, West Germany was the primary lender of money to the Soviet Union and during the Berlin Wall crisis in 1961, they continued to sell high grade steel plumbing to Moscow for some months afterwards until pressured by the US to stop. A lot of them also actively did business with North Vietnam during the height of the Vietnam War.
You can see it more recently in European cunts throwing a bitchfit at the sanctions imposed on Russia after the Ukraine debacle in 2014. "Butbutbut we need to sell our crap to Russia fuck you Amerifats."
More spies are lurking in S/W than H/W.
what the hell would they have to do with a random shitskin spic in mexico unless you are a cartel member?
Mexicans think they are important enough to be spies on.
There is already a thread for this on Sup Forums
And the consensus is if alphabet agencies tell you to no use something, then use it because they don't have power over that something.
Like most Chinese "companies", Xiaomi is a front for the CCP/PLA so anything you buy from them is going to fund their organ-harvesting dictatorship of a government.
We're ignoring them too. Huawei is giving us 29 gbps mobile data in 2020.
"Some call me an idealist. Well, that's how I know I'm American. America is the only idealistic country in the world."
How? Samsung has nothing that can compare to Huawei's Honor 7x.
oh yeah because usa is so much better
i am glad to give money to the chinese, this way it doesn't go into the pocket of the french government which is a judeo-bolshevik mafia that fills the country with niggers, i try to give them as little money as possible
...
Friendly reminder that *ANY* device with an American processor and/or OS is literally spyware for the Amerifats.
Xiaomi has nothing to do with them which is why no security agency warned anyone against Xiaomi.
What did you buy?
I honestly don’t give a shit if the Chinese spy on me. Not like they can do shit with it anyway. Being spied on by the country I live in is a bigger concern.
xiamo redmi 3a
never
But we told you about the Germans bro.
Look at that nose on Michael Simon
Reminder that any Canadian flags seen in a thread pertaining to China should be hidden and ignored on sight.
>a fucking notch
>copying a design defect
chinks are fucking shameless
the same way you guys collected vast amounts of meta data on your own citizens. everyone not american has probably had their communications intercepted by your intelligence agencies.
>Waah waah why aren't you buying our insanely overpriced LNG?
Neat, it's the Russian diaspora whose parents own a restaurant. Haven't seen him in a while.
Why don’t yuros make their own smart phone?
The US government has reason to suspect that chinkphones are a backdoor route for China to perform hacking/cyber warfare in the event of a military conflict. While we can't stop shitholes like Romania from buying them, we sure can block them from sale in the US, which also deprives them of the world's largest consumer market.
The Volgaturd? Nah hate him too. That being said I'm not an Atlanticist who thinks we should jeapordise our economy just to boost yours
is that a museum item? i am sure there must be a museum of euro technologies. that's how we would learn about them.
>being this fucking clueless and stupid
>ikimobile
this phone only comes with Greek keyboard
Are we all going to pretend the PRISM leaks didn't happen? The American government should be internationally slammed every time it talks about spying with such complete lack of self awareness.
I'm not an expert but from my courses, the idea is that a country can only possibly invest in so many different sectors at once, so it focuses on a few different things that the country is good at, for historical or geographic reasons.
It is called "specialisztion of industry".
Here for example we do engine parts, aeronautics, luxury products, food and pharmaceuticals.
Any mobile phone in any country is the best spying tool there is. We fell for it ourselves.
It is not the government's spying that is alarming, it is corporations. Apple, Google, Facebook etc.
>How about the FBI, CIA and NSA follow their own advice and stay the fuck away from my things
They don't care about you. I hate to break it to you. Even what the NSA was doing was basically just data mining.
That sounds more like stupidity than specialization. The 4 most valuable countries in the world are all Tech companies (Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft).
>please buy our spyware so the chinks cant spy on you
>lol
>Only America and China make cell phones.
He mentioned Samsung in the same post.
Outside of the Chinese domestic market, India will be one of the most profitable consumer market for smartphones soon enough. As poor as they are, smartphone ownership has exploded over the past few years and more Indians shitpost on WhatsApp than they do in toilets.

It won't really be all that long until the US market becomes far less relevant purely based on demographics.
>it is corporations
The US government is owned by the corporate sector.
>basically just data mining
You honestly deserve a bullet.
My next phone will be huawei or xiaomi just to spite this kike run government
Good. They are under zero obligation to give in to any pressure from the US and gave every right to operate independently.
I'm literally posting from a xiaomi chinkphone it's cheap and good quality, and It just werks. Amerisharts can get nuked, read that NSA niggers
>read that NSA niggers
si senor
>if you don't buy a Chinese phone that means you HAVE to buy an American one
this board's become so frothing at the mouth retarded that it's unbelievable
>preserve my privacy
>iphone
>NSA, FBI, and fucking CIA saying this
That's fucking rich.
Regardless, it's hilarious how yuropoors keep bragging about the fall of America and the rise of China, and not intending to ever suck China's economic dick, and already they're making room for both cocks.
edgy anti-americanism. how reddit can you get
Shall be buying a Chinese or Korean phone next time. I dislike China but it's better than sponsoring the economy of a group of terrorists pretending to be a state
irony. Only we are allowed to spy on you!
FPBP
Same
In 2012 the US government claimed that Huawei had a backdoor for Chinese spies, and so Huawei gave out their source code to the NSA and many independent western companies for free.
None found a backdoor. And the US government shut up about it until this year. Now they claim the same shit without presenting any evidence.
Tech is a new thing and went above expectations of economists, yes, that is why there is now investment to get a tech sector, something we've been lagging behind on somewhat.
Mostly it seems to be the creation of schools for codemonkeys, not electronics factories. For example China did not just decide to start making phones for no reasons, there was a concerted effort to invest into electronic industry for reasons x and y.
There is still absolutely nothing wrong with the idea that there should be some sectors of investment that are a priority, tech is one but making phones is not the order of the day here. Maybe in some other EU country it is.
We have one phone company which is Wiko and even they just outsource the creation process from China and focus on software and retail on the domestic market.
People think there is no point starting a whole bunch of courses that would actually train people to build phones, build the factories to produce them, import raw materials we probably don't have, and build a whole new industry from the ground up and so on, only to compete with much well-established competitors in a crowded market. And i would agree. It's not like it's possible for every single country to produce phones, and other goods than phones are also valuable.
>>Ironically, the only known hacking we know of that's closely related to Huawei wasn't done by the company or the Chinese government, but by the NSA. In 2012, it was revealed the NSA had made a program called "Shotgiant" that created backdoors into Huawei-made networking equipment in order to monitor communications around the world and find ties between the Chinese company and China's People's Liberation Army.
haha, the irony is fucking comical.
My next phone will be jap :3
I hope none of you unironically buy iPhones or chink shit.
I wouldn't be surprised if the chink shit is battery IED prone.
Only get shit from China if you're some sort of electronics enthusiast and like building junk out of scrap.
ITT: CCPbots have a chimpout
We're being spied on by the EU and US already, why not have China too?
And even if I didn't have a Chinese phone, it would have happened to me already, as I use WeChat.
All phones are chinkshit.
that's funny, you know, if you open up an iphone it says "made in china" on the inside
Yes the USA is going full on protectionist right now and it is hilariously hypocritical.
Nonexistent vaporware shit?
The actual parts are made in Japan or South Korea and just shipped to China for assembly because it's cheap.
>oh yeah because usa is so much better
I don't remember us harvesting Falun Gong members' kidneys for practicing a religion the government doesn't like.
No, you illegally torture people you suspect might be a terrorist with no real proof, apart from their religion.
no, you guys just burn them to death
>>en.wikipedia.org
damn you guys and china are so fucking similar it's no wonder you can't get along.
You have to go back, Walid.
Smartphones are great and all but it will really be nice once china can compete well in processors which is hopefully only a few years out.
Xperia :3
Extraordinary rebuttal.
It's probably the Dutch Arab without his trip.
Any time you corner them, they resort to whataboutism like
I'm already in the place my ancestors have lived for hundreds of generations. Something you can't say.
Show proof when
I’ll be here
ok sorry but why would i as a frenchman care that chinese people killed some people from a chinese sect at the other end of the world ? n
ext you want me to go in the street protesting to free tibet or like lgbt rights in russia of the rohingya or palestine or israel or whatever the fuck you want me to care about ?
no, i am not a hippie and i only care about my business not other people's business
and at least the chinese don't export none of their bullshit to europe unlike americans, so i have no problem with them
this is actually one of the very few positive things about the usa, walid
Why do you care lol?
