    Every fucking Chinese company is required to be an arm of their government and provide them with any information they request. It’s not even a question, they are an arm of the Chinese government. They can get fucked

      Same goes for US companies.

      Have we learned nothing from Snowden?

        Yeah it is similar, but not the same (at least not yet).

        China is a one-party state, and the government has control over private enterprise. If you are a Chinese company, the PRC ultimately has control of it, and that means the Chinese military has access to anything you have access to, if they want it.

        This is on a different level than anything Snowden released.

          China is a one-party state I wish you could realise how hilarious it is to read someone comparing the US and China on their number of political parties…

            Yeah, if only in either of those two countries people were seeing measurable improvements in their lives, approved of their government, and had hope for the future…
