HarmonyOS is sort of a vaporware, isn't it? We heard about it, but if someone comes out with a new product then he should demontrate it. So skepticism is in order in this case.

> Don't get me wrong, that kind of skepticism is good. It just feels naive and tribal to limit it to the Chinese companies.

How does that work if everything is encrypted? You can smuggle the information alongside legitimate requests

True, but at least you know the size, destination, and timing of an exchange.

You can't stop detect small smuggling but a periodic pull of software updates looks vastly different from uploads of all your photos, just for example.
