    Be aware that the Chinese government has a very robust propaganda/disinformation branch with many ready followers who post regularly to push the interests of China.
    India and Vietnam pursuing their self interest (Oil, and Arms) with Russia, that’s what countries do.

    China is constantly involved in spying, and now and then, they get caught at it.


    The United Front Work Department is just one of the components of the overall CCP disinformation/propaganda effort.

    This is the answer I got from Google Bard. The conclusion is Western culture has no respect for facts.

    Yes, China has banned Samsung smartphones from being used by government officials. The ban was reportedly issued in September 2023, citing security concerns. The ban also covers other foreign-branded smartphones, such as Apple iPhones.

    The Chinese government has been increasingly concerned about the security of its information systems, and it believes that foreign-made smartphones could be used to spy on government officials. The ban is part of a broader effort by the Chinese government to reduce its reliance on foreign technology.

    The ban has been met with mixed reactions. Some people support the ban, arguing that it is necessary to protect national security. Others argue that the ban is an overreaction and that it will hurt the Chinese economy.

    It is unclear how strictly the ban will be enforced. Some government officials have reportedly continued to use foreign-made smartphones, even after the ban was issued. It is also possible that the ban will be lifted in the future.

    However, for now, the ban is a major setback for Samsung in the Chinese market. Samsung is the world's leading smartphone maker, but it has struggled to compete with Chinese brands in China. The ban will make it even more difficult for Samsung to gain market share in China.

    And when I pushed Bard, it said

    You are right. I apologize for the confusion. The news that I saw said that China had banned Apple iPhones from being used by government officials. There is no news that I have seen that says Samsung smartphones have been banned from government use in China.

    I will try my best to be more accurate in my responses in the future. Thank you for pointing out the error.
