    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.

          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…
