Any app or smart device (with original root) made in China is able to spy on its users. I know this for a long time because I deal with that on a daily basis. But sometimes their spy is just for marketing reasons, just to sell information to other companies and stuff, and put random apps on your phone or computer once in a while. But they can track you down if they want, using keywords search.
This is why India, at the moment, has a movement to stop Chinese apps, they even created some apps that clean your device from Chinese apps (lol).
The main problem is that most people don’t care, and the people that care can’t do really nothing… Unless Trump do something like he did to Huawei…
