I grew up during the Cold War. Im well aware of the difference between the Red Threat and every other country in the world. With all due respect, you sound a bit naive about China.

You seem naive believing that corporations in other countries operate with restraint.

I agree with you that both modern tech and china are bad. However, these things are not related. You seem blinded by anti chinese prejudice, which is leading you to conflate these two issues.

If china imploded and stopped existing, modern tech would still have all the issues we discussed.

If Canada were able to implement a perfect data security law that was fully effective in banning all of these technological bad practices we discussed, it would not change china's position in the market.

That has been my point this whole time. These issues are unrelated. If you disagree, please address my point directly.

It matters who holds the data. The US holding it is a concern. China holding it is a major concern because of their ideological beliefs.

The horse has left the barn and there's no getting our privacy back again. But we CAN keep China from collecting even more and having open access to our entire country.
