If you have used a Chinese phone in Nigeria, that is riddled with ads and forced app installs, that even if uninstalled forcibly reinstall themselves and keep sending data to China with no way for the user to limit such transmissions

Or have used a Chinese browser that restricts access to sites critical of China you may feel differently, try Maxthon and visit websites critical of the Chinese Government or the ruling party there to appreciate that this applies even if you are not in China

If you work on sensitive stuff that might interest China, you may feel differently

That notwithstanding your position on the matter is reasonable and a valid point of view
I used xiaomi (three Xiaomi), bought through aliexpress (China), shipped to Nigeria and I can tell you that I didn't experience any of the above.

The phones treated me better than my present SAMSUNG.

China will give you what you want and that is why they're flexible.

If you want an inferior product? China will give it to you
If you want an inferior product that looks original? China will give it to you
If you want a quality product with proper price? China will give it you.
If you see a product you will like to copy? China will give it to you.


What you want is what you will get from CHINA

Install Maxthon Browser which is a Chinese browser on your PC(which doesn't have to be a Chinese product), test the above scenario and report back.

Let me be specific, the above issues have been reported on Gionee F6 phones bought in Nigeria and used in Nigeria, do your independent research and report back to the thread.

They have also been reported on Techno W2 bought in Nigeria and used in Nigeria. Please do your independent research and report back.

There is also a reason why the African Union had to rid its headquarters of Chinese equipment, you can google that too.

I don't hate China, simply reporting facts as I happen to have encountered them or researched them when the issues got to my desk.

Someone in the intelligence services has independently come to the same conclusion. He posted that much on this forum about a year ago if my memory serves me right.

I do not speak for Xiaomi, your mileage may vary.

The safest and most secured way is to have the items shipped to a trusted Nigerian shipper over there. He will do the quality inspection and then ship them to you in a consolidated container. The advantage is that the shipper can easily return the items for refund if they do not meet agreed specifications and quality.
Moreover since those are heavy items, you save on shipping cost from using container instead of air cargo. They would charge per cubic meter of certain weight limit.

Yes, I'm well aware of this. I have several shippers in China that I use for other products absolutely not related to building materials. But freight forwarders may either not have the technical knowhow to determine a high quality WC for example from one that's not too good. Or knowing a tap that is suppose to be anti rust from one that isn't. Except they explicitly offer a service like that where someone who has the knowledge on this type of materials can check. I'll still be looking into it sha

They're available commonly on the open market all over town. The brand name is GoodWill and are made I think in Ogun State, they were N5,300 (December 2021 price) per carton of four pieces of 24" X 24". I'm quite happy with them.

Good luck on your project.

Whatever you want from China is what you will get,China is an open market.

Goods in the world would be extremely expensive if not for chine. If you buy a cheap product from China then be ready for the malwares and co problems.

But house fitting? Lightening equipment? And co? It's all on aliexpress and you will have various options.

You can also open dispute if you're not okay with what you got

Comment applied to surveillance/video/smart equipment.

I have not hidden the fact that I use the Lenovo line of business laptops, which since 2005 is Chinese owned.

Delivery cost / time is another wahala.. Except you use Express delivery which then makes the average cost of what you're buying more expensive than the ones here.

Then your best bet would be to buy from a particular seller with trusted quality by referral. The disadvantage is that it wouldn’t give you the opportunity to compare prices.

You are just paranoid.

I use maxthon browser on my phone xiaomi(Chinese phone) and I don't have issues with all what you are saying.
Google (android) curates the ads you see on Android phones. Only Huawei phones run on another operating system.

Lastly
all countries source for user data. All Facebook steals your data through WhatsApp, Google does so, your browser's do so. Both America and China
are involve in stealing data


Secondly they don't always steal data through cameras. They do so through your laptop and phones, to notice your habits, conversations and shopping pattern.
You can't get those data from CCTV.
However except you are a top military or business executive or political
You shouldn't worry

See Maxthon (screenshot below) for you!

Unless they have changed, what is malicious about the site in the address bar?

How come all other browsers did not flag it?

You have been going on and on with this for days
now sir but go on...

There are other factors why some website can be flagged as malicious...
1..Geolocation (some banks login can tag login as malicious ...my bank won't let in first attempt in abstract location.

2.some websites, most recently so called fake news and disinformation websites, might also be considered malicious websites by Ssl . These sites aim to spread discord, affect election outcomes, and disrupt the activities of human rights groups.

3.Vpn more especially the free ones.

You are very correct.
Some brand of Chinese phones especially Tecno cannot open our office mails due to malware or apps preinstalled in China.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by FEGEITOK: 8:37pm On Jun 15, 2022
One last comment on this issue of Chinese phones, I am sharing knowledge that has cost me a lot of time and $$$, I do DFIR consulting, I am paid in 7 figures to share the information I am sharing for free here.

I have actually had to address these issues, final solution was that the malware was baked into the OS, the owners of the phones were told to ditch the phones and buy new Non Chinese phones.

Why don't we have these complaints with the Lenovo line of laptops? Think about it.

I have included in this post examples of third party confirmation of my position on this matter

cjfbn:

You are very correct.

Please tell them the models that had that issue, good that you have confirmed as I said earlier that Tecno has had that issue, that is not to say all Tecnos do

There are so many softwares that are developed at enterprise scale to utilize pictures and video images along with AI to analyze data. Certain applications used in medical imaging could diagnose a patient by just video images and archived pictures across multiple modalities. Those seamless workflow stations have comparable outcome in terms of efficiency with other maned stations.
Chinese developers are frantically looking for those free data to optimize their products. The only way they can get them is through “cheap” unlicensed, unregulated and unchallenged products to African countries. That is is price for cheap products.

For the bolder, here is the difference. While China does not make any attempt to discourage and penalize companies for misuse of customers information, most times they are even state sponsored, the US would hand down very stiff penalties for such act especially when it’s unconsented and against regulations.

Don’t be surprised when some Nigerians activities in “the other room” start featuring in Chinese man power products ads.
