It's all about that sweet backdoor. With Google and Samsung the NSA can just waltz in and out of your phone no matter which OS is running. But if some Chinese OEM decides that Unisoc chip & baseband would be the best choice for your GrapheneOS device the NSA will be quite unhappy.

It's the other way round.

If the device is sufficiently secure, it will be considered for the official support from GrapheneOS.

Of course, GOS can be forked by anyone, including Chinese OEM with insecure hardware.

I'm honestly a little surprised we haven't seen a Chinese OEM use grapheneOS or their own fork of it.
