Im sure the us uses its tech dominance to sway political opinions one way or another in my country (brazil). And spying on people is a requirement for that. It seems like an attitude in line with the history of the relations between us and brazil (and countless other countries). China probably tries that too, although i dont have a strong historical evidence for that disposition from china.

not disagreeing in any way, but just sharing reputable sources on that statement before anyone says it is a “conspiracy”:

aljazeera.com/…/us-spied-on-brazilian-president-a…
