I don't really care if my data goes to China. I don't live in China and there's nothing they can do to me. Google on the other hand can sell my data, use it to train their AIs and disclose it to various governments around the world, which is exactly what they've been doing. I'm more worried about Google stealing my data.
You're simply a xenophobic know-nothing.

I had a few Chinese friends in my youth and I have nothing personal against China. I even eat Chinese/Thai/Vietnamese food more than once a week actually.
I don't want anyone to collect my data, but if I must choose between China and Google, I much rather let Google have it, because I'm getting all their services "for free", whereas the Chinese are outright STEALING my data!

or give us user type login option (every time sim gets ejected/powered off for more than a minute phone auto reboots, and turn internet and location by default and record's audio video through camera and mics and saves it to cloud storage for theft complaint) to lockdown mode. where theft can't do anything (no interaction other than destorying the device)
...retriving the device (whereabouts) or incase of device or sim malfunction triggers this lockdown mode (unlock the device)

All the remote stuff is useless if you can turn off the phone even when being locked. Only Pixel and Apple allows this, everybody else you have to put the Pin before turning it off increasing the chance of tracking and doing things remotely.
