Throw Out Your Chinese Phones, Immediately! - Lithuania Tells Citizens by Franckly62(m): 8:08am On Sep 22, 2021
Lithuania's Defence Ministry has recommended that consumers avoid buying Chinese mobile phones and
advised people to throw away the ones they have now, after a government report found the devices had built-in censorship capabilities.

Flagship phones sold in Europe by China's smartphone giant Xiaomi Corp have a built-in ability to detect and censor terms such as "free Tibet", "long live Taiwan independence" or "democracy movement", Lithuania's state-run cybersecurity body said on Tuesday.

The capability in Xiaomi's Mi 10T 5G phone software had been turned off for the European Union region, but can be turned on remotely at any time, the ministry's national cybersecurity centre said in the report.

"Our recommendation is to not buy new Chinese phones, and to get rid of those already purchased as fast as reasonably possible," deputy minister of defence Margiris Abukevicius told reporters in introducing the report.

Xiaomi did not respond to a Reuters query for comment.

China thinks they can outsmart everyone.they do alot of illegalities when pretending to serve you,imagine being spyed through the phone you bought or maybe money infinitley being taken from your account without you knowing because it will be taken in little fractions.#saynotochinesepower
