Of the two, which government do I think is more evil? China's. Which government do I, a permanent resident of America, think could more immediately make my life harder by being able to invade my privacy? America's.
But rather in the context of those in America that largely only deal with American government officials and those outcomes.
And to my knowledge. China isnt abducting people or conduction renditions on american soil.
As I said - I agree that China's government is worse. In fact my previous employer had a policy that company devices just didn't cross that border, even when traveling for work. But it's still not a factor in which devices I purchase myself.
But that's not what the original comment said.
