How did the phone report the location from Shenzhen when the phone is wiped? Did they replaced the SIM card with a PIN free SIM with data? Why would they do it?

The Find My network relays the lost message from the stolen phone via nearby apple devices. Airtags use this principle to locate itself despite only having bluetooth
