Interestingly, Motorola itself is doing “a large portion of the work of porting GrapheneOS to their devices”.
…and Motorola is owned by Lenovo, which is effectively controlled by the Chinese state.
I love GrapheneOS but jumping into bed with the CCP is bad, bad idea.
Edit: I’m not a fan of US tech either, and this isn’t an “I hate China” post. They are both awful countries.

I’ll take my chances with the CCP over ICE any fucking day of the year.
We are always under more threat from our own governments than a foreign one and I do not live in China or China-aligned country. I’m safer with my data in Beijing than in Redmond.
And that’s the worst case scenario. Likely, it’s enough of a win for China to have an OS that the US doesn’t have backdoors into without China needing their own.
You know the two aren’t really the same, right?
That’s the point: I don’t even know the name of the Chinese agency I would even theoretically need to worry about.
Back when Grindr was owned by a Chinese company there was concerns that data from the platform could be used to blackmail western politicians and civil servants.
I can’t remember the details but my point is - just because you don’t live in China it doesn’t mean you’re risk free.

I’m neither a politician nor a civil servant, and if I were, as a leftist, I’d be more threatened by Trump having my data than Xi Jinping.
Do I just keep repeating this or…?
Edit: yeah, as yourself point out: the threat China poses is giving your data to your government. lol
That’s worse, not better. Ignorance of the danger is not an advantage.
I find your inability to understand why an American is more afraid of ICE than a Chinese government agency really perplexing.
But, in honor of your concern, I will forthwith carry a rock that keeps away Chinese agents.

that’s. not. what. you. were. saying.
you are just ignorant and proud of it.
Honestly, that was the sum totality of my intention. If you would like to review the logs and tell me where my language reflected differently, I would love to know about it because I never had an intent to say anything else.
are you proud of not knowing something?
Not proud, not ashamed. I’m just using my ignorance of something to evaluate a risk, which is certainly a flawed and lazy algorithm, but probably operates better than chance.
