This is nonsense, the CCP has millions of members in China, the same way that Democrats and Republicans are infiltrated in every company in America. The American national security agencies (NSA, etc.) are infiltrated in every large American corporation, especially in the technology area. You're just creating an excuse (political affiliation) to demonize a country's entire industry.

I you say something about Trump on Facebook, there is a 0% chance it will be censored by the CIA. There is a tiny chance it will be censored if you are calling for violence. If you say something about Xi that is negative on WeChat there is almost a 100% chance it will be censored. They have an Army of censors controlling all thoughts, making sure everyone is line with party ideals. The comparison can't even be made materially - where do people get their information from? It's scary.

  > 0% chance it will be censored by the CIA. Well, yeah, even when the US does violate the overt guarantees in its Constitution to suppress internal dissent, it's not the foreign intelligence service that is the direct vehicle. Mostly, it’s the FBI/Justice Department.
