Comment on Do you trust Xi with your 'private' browsing data? Apple and Google app stores still offer China-based VPNs.

That is until they have enough data to be able to sabotage a major part of your country’s infrastructure and use it as a bargaining chip to exploit your country, then it won’t be less damage. Its just theoretical, but we know that’s one of the reason any country collect data from another country’s citizens.

Just weigh the risks every time instead of defaulting to a position of China all the time.

China hasn’t revealed itself to be Cthulhu at every possible opportunity, unlike the US or Russia. So for me yes, it’s China at every turn unless a local option exists.

    It means I trust China more than the US.

I don’t see a problem here. Capitalism has already done this. At least they have competition.

  My problem is his general conclusion to always prefer China. Making decisions without considering the situation you’re in.
