I’m European and I definitely feel that way. I don’t like American spyware, but I trust the Chinese government much less than I do American corporations.
How about I share something from my own country. What I reckon is that only some of my data goes to the US government through Google, Microsoft etc. while the Chinese government controls corporations like tencent much more than the US government controls US corporations. Besides all that, services from Microsoft and Google are much harder to avoid than for example tiktok and Huawei. So the US is getting my data no matter what, I might as well limit how much of it goes to china.
Between August and September 2007 Chinese hackers were suspected of using Trojan horse spyware on various government computers, including those of the Chancellory, the Ministry of Economics and Technology, and the Ministry of Education and Research.[180] Germans officials believe Trojan viruses were inserted in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint files, and approximately 160 gigabytes of data were siphoned to Canton, Lanzhou and Beijing via South Korea, on instructions from the People’s Liberation Army.[181]

Vibes-based threat modeling, a classic.
Remind me again who was wiretapping Merkel’s cell phone? China right? Oh wait no sorry, it was the USA.

welcome traveller from an alternate universe where Snowden leaks didn’t happen 😂
In the US it is the big corporations that control the government.
Who was caught wiretapping.
From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_intelligence_activity_abroad
It is a very long Wikipedia article (as is anything involving CIA activities abroad, to be sure).
