Lithuania says throw away Chinese phones due to censorship concerns

Flagship Xiaomi phones sold in Europe can detect and censor terms such as ‘Free Tibet’ and ‘Long live Taiwan independence’, says the state cybersecurity body

The capability in the Mi 10T 5G phone software had been turned off for the region but can be remotely activated, the report adds

Thus I find it strange why there is a censorship apps in the xiaomi hp? Fake news?

Just now

Free Tibet. Taiwan Independence movement. 
Get censored here in SCMP?

As a Country gain confidence over time, a Country will one day be able to openly discuss taboo subjects. And use sound reasoning, strong argument to convince its own people and the World. 
A confident progressing Country - can one day win over the World if its policy help a Country develop and peacefully integrate with the World to forge mutual prosperity and peace.

The World political system may not just be make up of 2 system - democratic system and communism. It also can comprise of other systems like :- (1) Meritocractic System or Technocracy System (2) Epistocracy

@Daniel M. Not true. Just use your search engine in redmi and search for the 2 taboo topics. 
Many articles came out. Did not see any apps censoring or blocking the 2 topics.

As a seasoned telco engineer , I can honestly tell you there is no way Xiaomi can "capture " what you communicated in the Xiaomi phone. Only the telco operator can capture your communication information . However many communication tools like WhatsApp encrypted all information . So either this report is rubbish, or the Lithuania governor hypocrisy

@Jianqiang G. All xiaomi phone have connection to xiaomi cloud. If xiaomi want to do it, it can. But this article say apps censor or block the taboo subjects is not true.  Because I can search and read those article and no apps in the hp or xiaomi cloud block or remove those article from my phone.

@Jianqiang G. 1. Firewall and content filtering need not be done by local telco operators. 2. It can be done by phone manufacturer, because as long as the hp connect to the internet via the 4g or 5g, it will be connected to the phone manufacturer cloud - and can download patches, apps, updates, block or remove any content that are downloaded to the hp through content filtering - if it want to.
