With iMessage they don’t need to push anything to the device. I think Apple should provide a way to know who you are talking to has changed rather than saying, “trust us”, we won’t do anything bad.

Actually iOS does notify you when another device has joined your trust circle. So if you pay attention to that you’d know you’re being monitored. Suppressing that would need a crafted OS pushed to the device. iMessage is very secure. The real question is what would China do if it takes off (no one uses it there).

  If you are talking to person A and they get a new phone, how do you know that happened?

    You don't, and it would arguably violate their privacy if you did. But they do.

      What stops Apple telling your iMessage that person A got a new phone but not telling person A it is telling your iMessage that?
