    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.

        Edit: For people who think I mean “party” like US political parties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-party_state#Current_one-party_states

          This is on a different level than anything Snowden released.

          Snowden released the fact that the major internet companies in the US literally have full time CIA staff and locked rooms with servers

          Why is this on a different level? Is it because they’re ASIANS?
