Interesting point. Care to expand on what exactly about this incident makes you say that?

I guess it reminds me of the random snippets from newspaper articles and caricatures (from the relevant period) when I was studying 20th century European history in early high school.

It's seems to succinctly communicate major developments of our time. A Chinese phone (#3 globally by shipments) leveraging world class Korean components, Xi making an ironic statement about digital privacy both in context of China and democratic-leaning countries.

I am probably overthinking. :)
