Anyone thinking of Buying Chinese (not about tariffs)

[Wivenhoe]

I realise very few Porsche owners would consider buying a cheap Chinese car, but maybe for a second or third car ‘run about’. I have always had a lingering suspicion that all Chinese made electronic ‘devices’ and cars were capable of reporting back to Beijing- this was made more clear when the UK banned Huawei from any part of 5g upgrading.

Well, it looks like my probably ungrounded fears were maybe right - being paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you - article in one of the UK’s respected newspapers

I thought this thread was about luxury goods and China spilling "industry" dirty secrets about luxury goods manufacturing.

I try to maintain an ‘ethical view’ of purchasing and where there are often better options I avoid Chinese, South Korean, Dyson, JCB , Warburtons, Wren Kitchens, Wetherspoons, etc etc - he says using a Chinese made iPhone!
