      How about fuck them both. I know it’s hard to comprehend, but you can be critical of the west and not suck the dick of authoritarian shitholes that, at best, were socialist decades ago.

        authoritarian shitholes

        Read Lenin or bugger off. Did you not notice you were on a communist instance here?

          Block me then if you want to keep sitting in your echo chamber. And reading Lenin won’t make China any less state capitalist

          Give me socialist economic policy all day. Just fuck off with China and Russia. Those are not role models for socialism.

            Did anyone here say the Russian Federation is socialist? I don’t think we argue that one.

    Proud owner of Huawei 2018 Matebook X Pro. Beautiful laptop, still running strong today. I put on Manjaro and KDE. I had Huawei products before they were cool

    I would swap to Huawei next time i have to replace my phone but Canada has barred them from 5G networks and will likely further stifle them in the future. By the time I’m changing phones years down the road I expect Huawei won’t even be available in Canada.

      I’m in the same boat with wanting Huawei but living in Canada. They’re messing with Huawei because of suspected “spying” right? So why aren’t they doing the same with other phone brands?

    What is most likely?

    • Chinese company building better technology that can’t be compromised by westoid espionage, or
    • Rebels fighting a high-tech surveillance empire practiced good opsec by relying on analog communication

    Okay, both are likely. I still think the latter is most likely though.
