Some people my server admin uncle included believe that bringing any device to China automatically compromises it even if you reinstall a new OS. Is this warranted as some random person?
Can I go to my public sites and/or VPN into my servers?
Edit: I go there all the time. Also, I can take these precautions but I can’t expect my family to take them. What about family members phones?
A lot of great replies, thank you! Would love the read more specifics so I can know exactly the threats and my actions
Also, this is not an anti-China post. My field is Chinese related. Just learning more about the hosting side :)

VPNs are illegal in China.
Illegal but tolerated: just think to all the Chinese companies thriving on Facebook ads sales
They crack down on it only when they need to punish a specific target/person
