There is a national law called in China called PIPL, modeled after the GDPR, that limits what companies can do with the private data collected about individuals.
Outside of California, not much exists in the USA to protect privacy.
I’m not going to pretend that either country is not authoritarian. But a lot of the narrative about China is just propaganda. Here at least I can bicycle safely to work, take an electric car if I need a taxi, not worry about medical bankruptcy from a hospital stay, and not be deported because we are brown or worry that my kids will get shot at school.
Ask me ten years ago and this was a different answer. But conditions change (in both countries), we must adapt, so here we are.
You’re delusional if you think the US and China are similar on privacy. Even if the US is very quickly headed in that direction.
Maybe my perspective is skewed because I live in Beijing and spent most of my life in the USA, but I think the US is worse on privacy.
Having never been to china, can you tell me why you think the privacy is worse here?
