Every fucking Chinese company is required to be an arm of their government and provide them with any information they request. It's not even a question, they are an arm of the Chinese government. They can get fucked

Same goes for US companies.

Have we learned nothing from Snowden?

Yeah it is similar, but not the same (at least not yet).

China is a one-party state, and the government has control over private enterprise. If you are a Chinese company, the PRC ultimately has control of it, and that means the Chinese military has access to anything you have access to, if they want it.

This is on a different level than anything Snowden released.

Snowden released the fact that the major internet companies in the US literally have full time CIA staff and locked rooms with servers

Why is this on a different level? Is it because they're ASIANS?

I wish you could realise how hilarious it is to read someone comparing the US and China on their number of political parties...

Both countries are acting in their own interests. Simple as that.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Imagine if that meant in the people's best interest.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, if only in either of those two countries people were seeing measurable improvements in their lives, approved of their government, and had hope for the future...

The DoD will pay its fines 500#s at a time.

Oh my, the US military might have to change the name of the list to, "Foreign companies we're blacklisting for classified reasons". How terrible.
