Every Chinese company is at least partially owned, controlled, or heavily influenced by the Chinese government. It's just a fact of life given their current system of government.
Ask yourself this question. Would you buy an iPhone if the US Government owned a significant part of Apple? Or could shut down Apple at any time they wished? Would you trust them not to provide your information to US law enforcement or other government entities without due process under those conditions?
Then why would you purchase a phone manufactured by a Chinese company given the same circumstances?
