Kinda considering buying phone for chinese market, but maybe its not a greqt idea. If you have such phone, have you met any problems?
The phone I'm currently using to write this reply is exactly that. I have a few problems with it, but that's mainly because I bought a low-end phone as it's the only thing I could afford.
The GPU/CPU are very outdated, meaning I'd be lucky if I could find a 3D game that works without crashes or frame drops, the camera is mid-tier, the battery is good, it's still healthy after over 2 years.

No but atleast you wont support lgbtqi stuff when you buy your phone amd I dont think the chinese goverment wont try to use your data to manipulate into buying there other stuff

North korean cellphone market 
I am a yankee but a lot of the non-western side of the world use chinese phones like huawei. If it's fine for majority of kazakhs and russkies, I am sure it's fine for you too
I had a couple of OnePlus phones, through the past 5 years or so.
I think they're pretty good.

Well, i meant phones exclusife for chinese market, they are much cheaper
I had OnePlus and redmi's, these are very good phones.
I used them for 5+ years without additional issues that won't happen to a Samsung, but security is the biggest issue because update support tends to be shorter in budget Chinese phones.
Besides, the non critical components tend to be inferior, like the speakers and mics can be terrible.
I think the bad minor components/software update longevity has been changed in recent years, but I'm not sure.
Be ware, some of these are carrier versions or others, so you will have outdated software updates compared to the Chinese versions, like the US TMobile version I got in HK, that the last update for the OnePlus 9 was 2021, which had a critical flaw that if you had the phone modem interrupted, it would generate system logs at root level endlessly, over time, it will balloon up and the only thing that can solve it is a fresh reinstall.
These phones are cheap of the cheap, being grey/black market versions of already cheap Chinese phones.
Overall, pretty good deal if you only focus on specs, and especially so if you use the phone only at home with wifi.

I had a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s. It dropped around the time of the iPhone X, and looked like a space ship compared to it, shit was so far ahead of its time. Had a few people stop me to ask about it jfl. Was only $500 iirc
