      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.

        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.
