          Potentially, but even if they did that, the sites with all the good custom android ROMs are probably all blocked by their “great firewall.”

          Besides, the second you connect to the internet or cell service there, they have instant access to your device. There’s a reason why they have one of, if not the most, advanced systems set up to monitor and track you no matter where you go or what you do.
