My thought exactly, if OP is true of course
I was like, but then what if some spook agency started a surprise spam campaign, texting exactly that to every chinese users, on phones and computers? What would be the impact on the society and economy? I mean, if every device connected to the network crashes when such string lands on it... Thats a hell of a security flaw, and they brought it on themselves.

Chink insectiods might be dumb, but they're not totally stupid. That's why I feel the claim in post is a little dubious at best.
You're damn right I'm going to try it, though. Next time I get some Chinese spam.
