Putting malware and spyware together . Dont the 2 programs compete with each other ?

What about other Chinese brands?
Or was Gionee in spying their own country?

Well it was done for profit which is not allowed.
Only can be done on Chinese govt instructions.

Gionee was planning a comeback of sorts in India if I remember correctly - I guess this will hurt that.
