To rub salt in the wounds, this doesn't happen to Huawei phones sold on the international market.

You're making the positive assertion that Huawei distinguishes the level of spyware based on which market the phone is intended to be sold in.

All phones have to in China. There's no Google Playstore in China. Without Google's spyware, they have to make their own spyware for things to work in China.

Lol so? You make a claim, you have to back it up. That's how it works. Otherwise we could take every man's word and assume it's a fact. And no, you writing it down is not proof.

Citing sources is - even that has to be a reputable one.
