    I’m amazed that people apparently trust not just sensitive Chinese hardware, such as mobile phones, but even whole Chinese operating systems.

      Is it really that much worse than the NSA/PRISM spyware? I feel like unless you’re running libre stuff, there’s no avoiding this shit

        I figure, I’d rather China my info than my own government. Both are terrible options unfortunately.

        Yes? You either don’t know a whole lot about China or are arguing in bad faith if you truly believe the US to be as bad or even worse.

          Okay I’ll admit to not knowing much about China. But do you have evidence to your claim that Chinese spying is worse than what the NSA does (and did according to the PRISM leaks by Snowden)?

          Moreover, I feel like the impact of Chinese surveillance is personally less on me than American (companies). But I’ll concede that this is subjective
