Lithuania Urges People To Throw Away Chinese Phones by Youhesh(m): 12:46pm On Sep 22, 2021
Consumers should throw away their Chinese phones and avoid buying new ones, Lithuania’s Defence Ministry has warned.

A report by its National Cyber Security Centre tested 5G mobiles from Chinese manufacturers.

Researchers identified that one Xiaomi phone had built-in censorship tools while another Huawei model could be vulnerable to cyber-attacks.

Huawei said no user data is sent externally. "Our recommendation is to not buy new Chinese phones, and to get rid of those already purchased as fast as reasonably possible," said Defence Deputy Minister Margiris Abukevicius.

Censorship
Xiaomi’s flagship Mi 10T 5G phone was found to have software that could detect and censor terms including “Free Tibet”, "Long live Taiwan independence" or "democracy movement", the report said.
It highlighted more than 449 terms that could be censored by the Xiaomi phone's system apps, including the default internet browser.


In Europe, this capability had been switched off on these models, but the report argued it could be remotely activated at any time.

Xiaomi has not responded to the BBC's request for comment. The research also found the Xiaomi device was transferring encrypted phone usage data to a server in Singapore.

"This is important not only to Lithuania but to all countries which use Xiaomi equipment," the Centre said.

The smartphone maker has soared in popularity with affordable models, seeing a 64% rise in revenue in its second quarter compared to a year earlier.

Huawei P40
The report also highlighted a flaw in Huawei’s P40 5G phone, which put users at risk of cyber-security breaches.

“The official Huawei application store AppGallery directs users to third-party e-stores where some of the applications have been assessed by anti-virus programs as malicious or infected with viruses,” a joint statement by the Lithuanian Ministry of Defence and its National Cyber Security Centre said.

China wants to take over the world although censorship is a general problem. Google and Facebook cannot say they're innocent and I'm sure the governments of the world have a hand in it.
Now that people are walking up from the deception of religion there have to be another way to censor and continue to control the people

If you read the article, you will see that Huawei's issue was directing users to 3rd party stores where they could potentially download infected apps. This wouldn't have been an issue if Trump hadn't blocked them from accessing Google play services

Very true, i have always told people to stay from chineese phone especially Huawei, they all spying products. Chineese military designs their technology and gives them to Huawei, xiaomi to sell it cheap. People will now rush to buy it because its cheap. Now they are trying to kill other countries brands, enter Gsmareana and see the negative comments about brands like Samsung Nokia. If all phones are chineese, then we are all in trouble
