How can a charger be spyware?

It's actually pretty simple. Older Android and iPhone devices can be compromised directly through USB or other vulnerabilities. On newer devices, if the user accidentally grants the charger/device permissions, the phone can potentially be compromised as well.
The most straightforward approach would be to exfiltrate the device's data to a CCP-controlled server after gaining access. A more sophisticated approach could involve using the granted permissions to emulate an external keyboard or mouse and navigate to a specified URL. The server could then fingerprint the device model and OS version and dynamically determine what to do next.

Not sure if just me but I've found the reliability of this model to be a bit spotty. One of the ports stopped working for me and I haven't been using it that heavily. Might have just gotten a dud or bad luck on my end, but a watch out for others.

If the Chinese are hacking via these chargers then we've already lost.
No point in limit exports to them. They're so far ahead.
