    The chance is not 0

    The same can be said of the USA.

    No. Do I think it is marginally more likely than the US declaring I’m a terrorist? Yes.

    Then you are completely delusional.

    Why? Because the Chinese government does it more than the US.

    Not even close. AFIK there are no documented instances of the Chinese government nabbing people overseas and there are numerous documented instances of the USA doing it.

    Again, how does the US being a worse dictatorship than China invalidate my decision to not use a Chinese brand phone?

    Because it’s irrational and based solely on some weird racist ideology.

    Your point?

    Your name can go on a terrorist list at any time. Hell you could have the same name as somebody on the terrorist list and you’ll get nabbed.

    If you are trying to say that, therefore, China is fine, well, that’s just whataboutism pure and simple.

    My only point is that you are an insane person who for some reason convinced himself that China is out to get him.

      Then you are completely delusional. If you say so.

      Not even close. AFIK there are no documented instances of the Chinese government nabbing people overseas and there are numerous documented instances of the USA doing it. You really don’t know what you’re talking about.

      Because it’s irrational and based solely on some weird racist ideology. No it isn’t.

      Your name can go on a terrorist list at any time. Hell you could have the same name as somebody on the terrorist list and you’ll get nabbed. Your point? How does this invalidate my decision not to use a Chinese phone?

      My only point is that you are an insane person who for some reason convinced himself that China is out to get him. Lol, of course, I’m insane because I don’t agree with you.

      If you need to think I’m paranoid and racist to feel better about yourself, go right ahead. I couldn’t care less.
