They have the monopoly of everyone's personal data connected to the internet, yet they get alarmed when there's a country trying to compete and get the same data. They know they cannot win in the smartphone espionage arena bcos most chinese phone are affordable compared to western phones who have high premiums for less features. All they can do now is ban Chinese brands and electronics in their country which will be a costly and hard move.

Anonymous, 22 Mar 2019What do you expect? Nokia is a chinese brand.Nokia as brand is very, very Finnish. HMD in other hand...
Josh Mui, 22 Mar 2019Because some of us talk privacy relate to 'world news' issue. Not quality or pricing issue here.
Well it was still in the topic.
While with Nokia you expect that it's European brand there is no connection to China or be more dominating over China part of the company.
As i say for me this new Nokia is same as any other China brand, just cost more for having less. And we are spied on everything anyways. So what does it matter ? Sony have spyware for sure for Japan too. And Samsung for South-Korea too. Same for Apple for US.
It's mostly made by US this panic over spying.
Why am i not surprised
anddapple, google is sending to usa servers. samsung to korea servers..
Sometime I highly doubt that Xiaomi must be funded by some organisations or Governing body
What do you expect? Nokia is a chinese brand.
hmm, 22 Mar 2019All of you who try to defend Nokia now. Where are you ?
I was a fan of the old good Nokia. ... moreBecause some of us talk privacy relate to 'world news' issue. Not quality or pricing issue here.
It you own a Xiaomi phone then you can be guaranteed everything is sent to China servers. If you fart Xiaomi will send the data to a server somewhere .
Kunal Raj, 22 Mar 2019But you let google and NSA steal your data? Double standards.This what I mean to. Gorv/third party non Chinese they keep quiet. When Chinese related they jump on hoo-haa train and tried to boycott.
All of you who try to defend Nokia now. Where are you ?
I was a fan of the old good Nokia. But as it's not a new company with some of the roots employers. It's still a start up company that focus in China market and not home region market first or in a same time with China. Nokia as old had good specs for every price range. New HMD/Nokia dont. Basically 150 euro range nothing to get. SD636 from random China brand where you know it can have back doors for China. But then again there are back doors for EU and US too. And every app you install basically is spying on you and learning you. There is no privacy on any device in any brand. Your footprint is all recorded buy your phone and apps. So is google, android, IOS and Windows.
This news shows how Chinese these Nokia sticker branded phones really are. So whats the point to buy China phone with double to price ? Xiaomi redmi note 5 Ai with sd636 cost 3/32GB under 150 euro. Nokia lowest is around 250 ? While even camera on it would be trash compare to redmi note 5 ai. You get more China quality ? How do you class the Chinese workers and factory machines and there quality?

Wow, this is despicable. All those who want to ban smartphone companies on basis of privacy issues have a solid case.
When phone communicate with non Chinese server other then Google people quiet... People hoo-haa when it once connect to 'Chinese' keyword related server.
No surprise as HMD Global is a Chinese-led operation anyway. A shame that Nokia Oyj licensed their brand to China.
