All chinese companies are legally obliged to work with the chinese government, an authoritatian state which is acting hostile towards the west. Certain chinese phones have been found to have backdoors built in. Is it racist not to trust North Korea as well?
It's not a Chinese company if I'm understanding correctly. It's a British company run by a Chinese guy. Being from China is not a reason to distrust the product.
Well, this guy in particular did start OnePlus, which is a fully chinese company, cooperating with the chinese government.
Something always felt off about Nothing Phone, and in this case, I wasn't wrong about distrusting him.
Btw, I use this app https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles made by a chinese-born citizen, so a person being chinese-born isn't the problem.
