Bluetooth, AirDrop and such file-sharing services are crucial tools in China, where the so-called Great Firewall has resulted in one of the mostly tightly-controlled internet regimes. In recent years, anti-government protesters have often turned to AirDrop to organise and share their political demands. For instance, some activists were sharing anti-Xi Jinping posters using this tool on the Shanghai subway last October - just as the Chinese president was awaiting a historic third term as the country’s leader.

    @Venus The sources are clearly defined in the text, you can see that and find the link yourself if you are interested.

        Oh, we have a genius here. The source, which is the Chinese government, and the way it is cited are both fine.
