Google app being flagged as a virus by Huawei phones
stackdiary.com

I'm seeing a lot of reports from users of Huawei and Honor devices have reported that their phones are incorrectly identifying Google apps as Trojan malware, specifically labeled as TrojanSMS-PA. According to the alert, this "malicious software" has the ability to send SMS messages without user consent.

Based Huawei

Oh yeah the Chinese garbage phone that has tons of spyware and will send your data to the CCP is so based because it doesn't include Google spyware. Makes sense.

1%based for calling Google malware 99% bullshit for being probably at least equally bad

and what will the CCP do with that information? Meanwhile, I know that the NSA, CIA, FBI, local law enforcement, countless advertising agencies, and all sort of other agencies in the US that can actually do things with that information. Even if you don't live in the US, chances are that you live in a country with an extradition treaty with the US.
