Pretty much every smartphone except for Samsung, Sony and Asus should be banned.

More like there just needs to effective legislation passed that curbs data collection and surveillance. They all do it because it is legal and very profitable. The only difference between Huawei and Samsung is who is doing the collecting. Governments and companies get too much value out of the collection though, so it will likely never be regulated.

I think the whole thing is pretty ridiculous. I can hear the criminal master minds now, "I'm going to hide secret transmission tech inside these cameras that say Made in China on them. No one will ever think to look there".
