        What do you think China will do with the data, that the USA isn’t?

        Look from the perspective of a us citizen and non us citizen, both not in China.

        I don’t trust the Chinese government, but I also don’t trust the US government. I know many foreigners who no longer see America as somewhere safe to travel and whose interests are aligned with business interests, not people.

          The US definitely monitors and stores everything, but it’s largely benign in adverse action against average people. China is less known about that.

            Tell that to to trans people at the moment. They won’t agree.

            China does nothing to average people outside China either, so it’s not really a valid comparison.
