    Realistically what is the worst thing China is doing with your private data? Selling it? If you’re not a Chinese National, at least you don’t fall under their jurisdiction.

    If you’re a U.S. citizen, with all the tech oligarchs cozying up to the current administration, I’d be a lot more concerned with Facebook/Twitter/Etc collecting your data.

      The CCP is significantly more oppressive, gives zero shits about human rights or trademarks or really anyone at all. The US at least pretends to care.

            For the past week the people of China and the United States, as well as other countries have been comparing notes. Debunking propaganda on both sides. Realizing that much of what we’ve all been told for years/decades, has been lies.

                For starters, that the Uyghur genocide is yet another piece of atrocity propaganda from the US. We know what a genocide looks like and how it’s impossible to hide in the modern world, as Gaza showed.

                Blurry satellite pictures of buildings and a German fascist swearing it for ten pages (financed by Raytheon and Lockheed-Martin) isn’t proof.

                    Because there are some functional governments in the world that don’t allow US misinformation to spread without challenge.

                    They also suppress Falun Gong, are you telling me that’s in and of itself proof that their cultist shit is one hundred percent true? If so tell me so I can laugh my ass off

      Realistically what is the worst thing China is doing with your private data?

      Probably mapping out the extended support networks of democratic activists in Taiwan to prepare to throw them in jail after a forcible military takeover.

        So democratic activists in Taiwan have extensive networks in the US?

        I mean, you said it.

            Networks with a foreign actor undermining national sovereignty, which financed several massacres in your country

              My country? Not sure what you’re talking about but I know that Taiwan deserves sovereignty. You don’t? Surely you’re not pro imperialism…

                I meant in Taiwan but tbh throw a dart at a globe and if you don’t land in the ocean there’s an 80% chance the US has sponsored a massacre there.

                  Yep. Pretty off topic though… Thought this was a thread about a Chinese app. You know, the country that’s trying to steal Taiwan, aka imperialism. Just like how the US, England, Russia etc do. It’s actually wrong even if it’s the authoritarian govt you’re rooting for.

                    Y’all literally brought it up, you don’t get to go “uhhh off topic much?” when you say dumb shit.

                    Taiwan is China, both governments agree on this as well as all other countries in the world, including the US (officially). The only disagreement is on which is the legitimate government of ALL OF CHINA.

                    If you think the RoC is the legitimate government of China you need to stop huffing paint or reading CNN.
