Always turn your phone off before crossing international borders. And use a >20 char boot passphrase.
They can still ask you to trun on and have it unlocked. Refuse and you being an international traveller? They probably will deny your entry.
In the very unlikely instance that happens, fly to the nearest country, make a backup of your phone, factory reset it, then fly back to a different poet of entry
Or just bring a burner phone with fresh international Sim card
This is the real answer.
Flying to China for work/play?
Leave your real phone at home. Take a cheap burner.
No, don't use SIM cards.
