The Huawei P70, P70 Pro, P70 Pro+ and P70 Art Edition are set to be officially unveiled next week if the latest leaks are to be believed. The peculiar design can already be seen in photos, while a data sheet supposedly reveals the specs of the top models.

why do you dislike Chinese phones ?

It is an authoritarian regime after all, do you think that these phones are being used to aid their goals ? or maybe simply buying them helps support that regime ?
My curiosity lies with peeps like the above actually being to walk around their house and not find things Made in China.
I know I’d be hard pressed, and then components in devices?

Right, they do be supplying everything from electronics to medicine 💉 , at a very low price…
It’s just so happens it’s the same stuff I wouldn’t feel comfortable putting in my pocket ( or in my blood stream ) giving how they govern their people
My personal philosophy is to not buy tech products designed and/or owned by Chinese companies. It is very difficult to avoid buying products manufactured in China, but very easy to avoid buying from Chinese companies. All you need to do is pay a bit extra. The problem I have with supporting Chinese tech companies is that they are all essentially owned by the CCP and any technological advances they make can and do directly contribute to the ongoing suppression of the freedom and human rights of minorities in the country. Personally I think it is worth spending a bit more on a non-Chinese product to avoid directly contributing to that problem.
Like I said in another comment in here, I find it odd that we need/want to pay more for things that don’t actually cost that more but do because some companies can’t run the books right (ie: fat cats and excessive profits) and end up with massive corps having to submit a First Gazette Notice.
I had no idea what that meant since I found out last night my company I work for here in the UK, has done just that :/
Paying more for a product that better aligns with your interests, ethics or ideology.isn’t a strange concept.
Being a consumer means I don’t attribute others ethics, nor ideology, when making a buying decision.
I buy things because I’m a consumer of goods that tries to save myself from having to spend more, to line others greedy pockets though.
If those are my ethics, call me a dirty consumer perhaps? But people getting paid minimum wages whilst people who do nothing other than tell their sales department to up their price “just because” it doesn’t come from a certain geography is like chopping your nose off to spite your face IMO.
edit: I found a perfect example of this. Berghaus fleece Vs a Amazon basics, or hell, even a Regatta fleece. Just the badge, and nothing else.

Did I hallucinate all those military bases and imperialist wars?

Oh no, someone who thing the united states hasn’t acted evil or tried to take over the world has a poor opinion of me.
saying you’re a clown doesn’t mean anything, we all seen these bases and we all know how the NSA monitors everyone, I’m waiting for a proper reply
I’m sure they dislike the phones you make, too.

I thought you minded they allegedly used slave labor.

So you do care about what they use?
