Seems like a sick joke as people have zero privacy from the government in China.

      that doesn't mean Chinese people have zero privacy, lol. Would you say USA citizens also have no privacy, as the US government does the same thing? it would be fair to say that Chinese are monitored, yes. not that they have zero privacy. what a ridiculous, unsubstantiated claim.

        Not to dismiss what the US does. But China is on a completely different level. Look at what happened to one of their athletes after she complained about being a assaulted at the last Olympics. US is probably a few decades that level. Hopefully longer.

  One could be reductive and say that the Chinese Government has given themselves a monopoly on privacy invasion. Is that strictly worse than privacy invasion as a capitalist business model? I think the answer to that is highly subjective and highly culturally dependent. Obviously the the ideal would be to have neither.
