Re: Trumpian Diploonacy
Difference is, we (the west, the free world, whatever you want to call it) have a pact going on where the data is used responsibly by governments that we the people elect.
My dear boy, I wish the UK OSA didn't compel me to remain silent. Let's put it this way: your naïvety is cute. Try to keep that innocence. Also, try reading better news sources - the truth is out there.
The key difference between the Chinese and "our" lot is that they don't bother pretending. They don't have to.
In addition, see what parties try to achieve. Locally, both the West and the Chinese seek to establish surveillance of their population and so build a Panopticon. Abroad, both try to steal government secrets and IP. If you think China has no IP itself I may have news for you - smart people don't just live in the West.
