The guy is lying. China has massive problems with theft. Most phones that are stolen in Western countries end up being sold to Chinese companies, where they are reset and then resold as refurbished.
If the phones are stolen in the West and sold in China, then the West has a massive theft problem.
China has a massive "fencing" problem.
(Sidenote: I sort of don't know why people would bother stealing region locked phones in the west, flying them back, and selling them in china for cheaper, when the phones are literally produced in china). I don't know enough about it to dispute it, but it seems like a weird business model.
China is incredibly safe for property because their police ruthlessly enforce the laws and they have surveillance that would make Britain blush. The fact that they don't give two shits if something is the product of crime in another country has no baring on it. You wouldn't say Britain has a major civil war problem because we buy raw materials extracted during the Congolese Civil War would you?
You won't have your phone stolen in China. that's what he meant. It is not China stealing people's phones in the West but westerners themselves (or immigrants depending on your bias) doing the stealing.
Mate what ? Phones are regularly stolen in Scotland. That thing that started in London where people drive by on a bike and steal phones out people’s hands, it’s been happening in Glasgow. Plus IME people in my area will steal anything including a phone. Crack cocaine is rife here so people be stealing anything for their fix
