    We have chinese police here in Vancouver (edit Non Canadian force), if residents speak badly about CCP these “Police” show up at the door and try to coherce them back to mainland. I’m not regurgitating the articles, my friend living in vancouver had them show up. I’m not trusting blobs.

      New York, DC, and LA as well. If one doesn’t want a polite knock, one doesn’t speak ill of the CCP.

          Down voting for 2 reasons:

          1. This article is short on factual information that says what you’re implying.
          2. This is wholly irrelevant to Ventoy.

            if you search Chinese Police Canada (or USA) there are tons of articles that are way more in depth, and describe encounters, etc.

            I added that link so people don’t think I’m making it up when my friends house is getting door knocked by two CCP police.

            It does not directly relate to Ventoy, it relates to why I would not trust a chinese product as we have first hand witness here in Canada of CCP harassing residents or forcing them back to china. There is that much control, even when they don’t live in China, that if CCP wanted to have widespread spying they would just pick a dev with family in the mainland.

              Your phone, computer, TV, and various other electronics in your house were not made in China? You believe that your own country or mine cannot secretly compel backdoors?
