   Just checked. The Temu app is still available in the Play Store on this   
    Chrome Tablet. All I had to do was push the Install button...

   How about Android tablets? Virtually all my Android tablet toys over the   
    years were made in China. This Chrome OS tablet I'm posting with is from   
    China. All my Amazon Fire OS tablets are. My Acer Chromebook was. I   
    sometimes wonder if a backdoor could be inserted during manufacture? That   
    would be a sneaky way to aquire info, huh...
