While bad, this isn't remotely the same either in scope or scale as China's similar issues. In the US you end up in this matrix if you're perceived to be a legitimate, real, prone-to-violent-acts threat. In China you end up in their "disposition matrix" if you say anything negative about anyone in favor.
> So what do you think of something like Elon Musk openly admitting to furthering a coup to secure resources? Is it only a problem with intellectual property?
What makes you believe Musk?
> This isn't the case?
No, it isn't. At least nominally some kind of additional oversight, e.g., via a FISA warrant, is required.
Now, none of the above is meant to imply that operatives and agencies adhere to the rules 100% of the time. They do serve to mark a distinct, clear difference between the US and China, though, because at least in the US if/when these agencies and operatives are caught there are legal repercussions to face. In China there aren't any because these agencies and operatives' actions would just be standard operating procedure. It makes a difference.

You have no idea which targets are real, prone to violence threats, or how valid either states research is before acting. Further, even if you're fine with the current US targets Google is still fine giving them that data even though it's being used to kill people. >What makes you believe Musk? The ousted president blaming such foreign interests, the new president opening up the mines despite public protest, and why would I doubt him? >No, it isn't. At least nominally some kind of additional oversight, e.g., via a FISA warrant, is required. In the absolute best case scenario, this only stays their hand when working inside the country. Though, I don't agree that they face repercussions for violating these laws.
