  But the American companies would never sell your data to the government! https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/oct/25/att-secretly-sells-customer-data-law-enforcement-hemisphere https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/oct/25/att-secretl...

    Not really whataboutism if you’re trying to choose between companies as a consumer.

  Is this an argument? Can people be weary of companies in two countries or do they just have to pick one?

  To say American and Chinese companies are operating on the same part of the spectrum shows how ignorant your comment is. Fwiw, the Chinese govt might have access to all the data on your OnePlus phone and you won't have any idea about it. American system is driven by rule of laws. Legislature and Judiciary are two independent branches. It is not like China where Executive says something and then Judiciary is scared to act against it because, tomorrow, they may end up in a training camp.
