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.

It's actually okay to do this for China, because just about every private enterprise has a CCP cell now. It's important to understand how state capitalism works with the CCP and China.
