I was using YOUR logic.....you are free not to buy anything American. Choice is awesome!

Of course I am free to purchase whatever I want. I am writing this post on a MBP, so an american product. All I am saying is that (to me at least) it is silly to believe any government agency, and especially to those who lie and deceive on purpose. And do so multiple times. Sometimes it costs millions of lives.

Then I in no way endorsed any spying.....I am not naive enough to think my government is not guilty of spying.....but then I am more cautious of foreign countries like Russia and China than my own government.

Well, I am actually more scared of my own government then China, USA, etc. USA, China don't give a cr*p about regular Joe like you or me. But my own government does. To some degree. As does yours about you. To some degree. Foreign government? They will spy, but on people that are of interest to them.

So you can cast stones if you want...makes no difference to me. I am proud to be American. I am not afraid to show my country in my profile here.
For some reason you want to make this personal....let's stick to the thread topic.

Why do you think I have anything against USA or americans? If I left that impression, I am really sorry. I don't have anything agains americans, or you for that matter. Quite the opposite, I find your posts to be a great read (no sarcasm here).

And you should be proud american. As I am proud Croatian. But I hate my own government (bunch of commies), hate their policies, and don't trust them at all. That doesn't make me anti any country, just anti lousy governemnts.

And it wasn't my intention at all to make it sound personal. Since we can't see each other in person, and I am writing in a language that is not my native language, maybe it was my mistake and I really sounded like that. If it is so, my apologies.

Only thing that bothered me is that people still believe agencies that start wars on false 'evidence', and that are lying every day. I have nothing with Huawei, this is my first Huawei phone ever. And I have nothing with or against China. Never been there.

I think we can call it quits and EOD? Because this is getting a bit too political for a smartphone discussion ;)

The Mate 9 was a good bang for buck phone. I am not spending $799 on the 10 pro.

I will check into updating my 9 with Oreo. Thanks for the links.

You guys have a hard time believing China would steal any and all information they could!? Lol, it's what they do best. Innovation, yeah right. Copy and build with inferior quality is the theme time and time again.

It is time to put a label on phone 'statutory warning: Using this phone is dangerous to your life'.
Unofficially Uncle Sam did that.
