Of course it is, for the Chinese. Listen, if it isn't a homegrown tech product, it's a threat to your national security, and even most of the homegrown ones are, regardless of what nation you're from or in. This is fact.

This seems like a logical step, both as a political counter move to the US limiting Huawei and TikTok, and as an actual security measure. If the Chinese state can get intel from Huawei devices, surely the US can get intel from iphones. I'm surprised they didn't include Microsoft.
Edit: a word.

I mean it's not like you'd catch a US government official carrying around a Huawei phone either - fair is fair.

Of course they pose a national security risk. Imagine your government officials walking around with devices fully capable of recording bodily activities, location, sound, video, and transmit it to a foreign power, with or without the wearer's knowledge. 🤯
Then add the ability of third party powers to use Israel's NSO spying capabilities for these devices.
The moment I could replace these devices with my own home-grown ones, I would. If anything, it's surprising it took them this long. Maybe they thought they had enough control over Apple.

Buy stock in Huawei, got it.

iPhones pose a risk to the National Security Agencies’ ability to spy on the citizens
They’ll still have no problem manufacturing them, though.
replies:
If the US can do it, so can China. But, of course, both suck (iPhone and Huawei).
I mean... I don't doubt that any cell phone is.

Nice move, China. Right then, let's start drafting the tit-for-tat regulations right away.

Any US technology has NSA backdoors. I'm surprised it took them this long to realize, since they do the same thing.
