Very well, if you want President Xi spying on you. Normal smart TVs are dangerous enough with Chinese components. What sort of fool would actually buy a Chinese telly? 

Wipe away that spittle. It's unbecoming. 

A better stronger type of tin foil

If you think Chinese spyware is a conspiracy theory, God help you. 

And what do you think President Xi is learning about you that is such a threat to national security?

Don’t tell him, Dux!

Dux, are you really a red-faced old man in a green tweed blazer who shouts at the radio? Because you don't half come over that way. 

I don't think HG/GC knows anything about the UK to give to the Chinese 

A 60 year old recruiter living in Dubai and hiring escorts most nights 

The Chinese might know his preference tbf 

Problem wid escorts?

And what do you think President Xi is learning about you that is such a threat to national security?

It's not just me, you fool. It's everyone. Foreign subjects are being targeted using analysis software of social media, facial recognition in Hikvision cameras, etc. The same tools which are used to repress their own population. 

It's bizarre that people don't know this stuff. 

Wait until you learn about the soft power that CCP propagandists are wielding in UK universities. 

Makes sense.

hi

Anyway I owned a 65" hisense.  Am fairly sure when I watched the grand tour it lead directly to human rights abuses in tibet. 

Brexit has helped xi much more than buying a TV so think you're ahead in earning CCP merit points.

“Foreign subjects are being targeted”

Ffs

And if you don’t want forrins - wherever they’re from, eh tovarisch? - to have influence in universities then don’t appoint them to faculty and don’t take their filthy money for students. 

If they're at all interested in you, which seems a little unlikely, and you've got a smart phone, then they're not learning anything new from the telly 

the chinese do not have any back door into iOS do not be silly

Snowfox, are you always this dim? It's not about you or me having "something they're interested in". I agree that we should be worried back doors in smartphones but Trojan Horse technology is much more sophisticated in TV sets. Don't listen to Laz. He's wiser than he let's on when it comes to this sort of thing. 

"And if you don’t want forrins - wherever they’re from, eh tovarisch? - to have influence in universities then don’t appoint them to faculty and don’t take their filthy money for students."

It's not about "forrins". It's specifically about members of the Chinese Communist Party.

So yes, obviously we should be scrutinising the source of their funding, you clown. 

How do you think it’s funded, by our national lottery?

Gets into new MG4 Xpower and launches it.

Enjoys digitally enhanced totty on TikTok. 

Dux were you this concerned with China when supporting brexit? Which is something that Xi clearly wanted as it divided and weakened the west.

He’s the Rof David Cameron ffs

2bf 2 dux he has at least had the good sense and humility 2 now agree that brexit is a disaster and should b unwound

i don’t think he’s specifically sed he regrets voting 4 it, but i don’t c a need 2 hammer home the victory

China were very anti Brexit as it happens. They had invested a lot in relations with the UK as a gateway to the EU.

Hard to see how goods with a Chinese brand name made in China are significantly more dangerous than goods with other brand names also made in China.

Eg all other goods? LOL
