Hahahaha NO mistake.
The entire 1% plan was to make China our communist leader.
The fucking jewish 1% pieces of flushable shit.
When the Canadian government was told every government computer had a backdoor to China. they just shrugged.

They’ll issue a fake security patch to reassure their users but make no mistake their $200 phones have negative margin and they make their money entirely by selling data to China.

Here's how to stop allowing satan into your device.
Exit all of your apps and reboot the phone. Once the phone is to the home screen:
Go to google.app's info page.
Stop the google.app process.
Clear app cache
Clear app data
Go to app permissions.
Turn off all permissions listed in the google.app permissions section.
Disable Google.app.
Reboot the phone.
Enjoy not being monitored by Google
Note: haven't tried this yet so I can't guarantee it works.

HOW could a mistake like that be MADE? I call mom in US, it routes through CHINA?

Years ago, my home router was hacked so the DNS was from China. I noticed some sites no longer worked and the lag was very bad.
I eventually found it and changed my password.

I suppose it's possible innocently at the FACTORY...misrouting. Sheesh. Can't think that CHina thinks regular folks are interesting though.

Otherwise known as the euphemistic bug.

The software engineer: "I just looked away from the screen a few seconds to talk with a collegua, and suddenly my fingers just typed something like 'socket open <chinese.ip>', 'send some shit', 'close soocket'. I couldn't help it, I did not notice it at all!"
