I have seen a lot post talking about how Chinese companies collect US citizens data but I never seen a Chinese person complain about it. Do they think US doesn’t have the power to abuse that data?

Really curious

    Sampling bias from the fact that you’re reading posts written in English, not Mandarin.

    (By the way, I’m actually not as concerned with Chinese companies collecting my data as I am with American companies doing it, precisely because China doesn’t have jurisdiction over me, while the US does. Similarly, I would expect Chinese people to be more afraid of Chinese data collection than they are of US data collection.)

    China has sovereignty over their internet infrastructure, that’s what the Great Firewall is for. The US Empire cannot do as it likes with China.

    Because they’re probably dealing with their version of surveillance from CCP. It would be interesting to hear conversations from privacy experts and advocates over there, and share experiences of what we’re all dealing with.
