Yes put all their government employees on most likely outdated Android which probably don't have up to date security patches. Brilliant.
Not for long. Now that HarmonyOS 4 is out they're pushing HarmonyOS NEXT which has all of the Android libraries removed.
I would bet dollars to donuts that foreign governments have already exploited HarmonyOS 4.
I wouldn't bet against it but from the CCPs perspective that's still better than iOS & Android where it's a near certainty that the NSA has back doors baked into the OS.
