I'm guessing very few, if any, Play Store certified devices are on that list. Unless Google has really laxed requirements.
Either way, Xaomi devices might get a CCP backdoor, but probably not an ordinary botnet like this.
So no talking about how awesome Taiwan is near my tv huh
Xaomi is a good brand, until proven otherwise.
I was just giving a broad disclaimer, but mostly I was trying to highlight that they aren't some random shady white box OEM that gets re-sold under 72 different brand names.
They are a well established brand that produces quality products, that happens to be based in China, and therefore subject to Chinese laws and regulations.
