"Reports that Chinese authorities have been requiring foreigners to install spyware on their Android phones suggest that Huawei's legal analysis may be, shall we say, naive."
And that, IMO, suggests the exact opposite, that they could be right.
If the Chinese government could so easily asks companies to do naughty stuff, why would border cops be tasked to install apps manually?
It would be much easier to detect roaming phones connecting to that area's cells. and block them until they install the app. Same for public wifi, obviously (in China, pretty much all free public wifi connections requires registering with a local cell phone number).
