I’ve seen numerous nasty infections due to Android malware in my uncle’s phone. Random ads and objects swirling on the homescreen whenever he used certain apps. Some phone manufacturers like Redmi and RealMe also show advertisements in their settings, browser, etc. section, but they're not due to malware.

China is blocking the discussion about Coronavirus at the UN because it doesn’t want its image to be tainted, which will take a toll on Chinese investments worldwide. As we all know the POTUS, Donald Trump is already calling the SARS-Cov2 virus as “ Chinese Virus ” and if that discussion will be taken up in the UN, then it's obvious that blame would on China’s head about its carelessness, which is true.
