As a European, Chinese companies having my data is much less of a concern than US companies having it. The Chinese government isn't likely to use that data to meddle in my personal affairs, prosecute me, or request my extradition (and if they did, my government is unlikely to stand for that). The US government on the other hand might well do just that for something as minor as copyright violation.

- unity1001 4y ago'Empire' does not mean 'great polity'. It is a specific political construct. And the US is closer to an actual empire than China ever is.
- nicoburns 4y agoTo the extent that they're both empires, I would suggest that Europe is in the US empire and not the Chinese empire.
