Gonna have to give a hard disagree there. US surveillance capability is far more widespread and powerful than China’s, partly because it’s composed of so many multinational corporations, it’s not just the government working on its own. They just don’t have as bad of a reputation because the US still maintains global hegemonic economic, political, military, and cultural control.

As the US empire falls we’re gonna be seeing that power used more and more as it tries to cling to that hegemony. Heck, it’s already happening. I know that’s why some of us are here now.

I would always prefer the company that is not under US jurisdiction.

This is the most important thing IMO. I’d rather have the Chinese government collecting my info than the US. China doesn’t have any power over me.
