But that's not as exciting to the crowd as "look!! chinese app stealing data!"

  Uh, I'm not understanding your snark: It's established that a Chinese app was utilizing 0 days and escalating priveledges to exfiltrate data. Most of that team was then transferred to work on the Temu app. According to you, this is not at exciting to the "crowd" as pointing out that these Chinese apps are stealing data?

    If you would bother to read what previous commenter had put, you would find that engineering team was relieved of duties shortly. Chinese apps steal data no less then their western counterparts do. It's just politically beneficial to do fingerpointing at China. Assange and Snowden tried to do same with US - with unfortunate and known results.

      I believe you are the one not reading (hint, read the line after the part you find so enamoring): "Two days after the update, Pinduoduo disbanded the team of engineers and product managers who had developed the exploits, according to the Pinduoduo source. [..] Most of the team were transferred to work at Temu. " >Chinese apps steal data no less then their western counterparts do. The whataboutism you add doesn't strengthen your argument. Also, source for American apps using 0 days to escalate privileges, please.
