    I’m curious about the China comment and genuinely would like to ask some questions. I’m prefacing them with lots of assumptions that might be wrong, so please feel free to ignore or correct them.

    I believe China is a rather authoritarian government, however I fail to see why they would like to go after people who use the pinephone. China’s scope is that of a regional power so I wouldn’t be too worried particular if not I’m Chinese or live in China.

    What are your concerns regarding using a product made by a company owned by a HK company?

    Also, lots of stuff is made in China, since that’s the way to keep supply chains profitable and products cheap. Without looking, I’d say most phones have at least components made in China. What risk do you see associated with this?
