- WarmWash 2mo agoChina has laws that serve the state, not the individual. They are there for the party to use to prosecute. So you could file, but considering the state is the one responsible for holding the data, and the one that controls the courts, it's not going to go anywhere. Remember China is still an authoritarian dictatorship. One leader with absolute power for life. Don't let the facade misguide you.

- WarmWash 2mo agoSure, because the state didn't have a stake. Trying suing when it's in the states interest, like it is to build AI datasets on western data. For reference, no case in China has ever been ruled against the government. They don't have things like judges smacking down executive orders or refunding tariffs.
