China’s interests are increasingly directly opposed to those of the United States. It’s very obvious that China is angling to usurp the U.S. as the dominant power in the region. That alone makes them an adversary, not to mention whatever global ambitions the CCP might have.
The difference is, and this is true, the American apps aren't owned by an adversarial foreign government. >

why does that make it justified? its not like the US has an outstanding record of doing the right thing. >

Not real sure what your argument here is....are you saying that because you think the u.s. government is spying on people that you should let an enemy government do it to you? Or are you saying because the u.s. Government does questionable things it should allow a foreign government do it to us. Either way you sound ridiculous >

enemy in what way? >

Pardon. Adversary. >


Adversary

Same question... adversary in what way? >

Not playing this game. Good try. >

so despite china being an 'adversary' and thus 'should not be trusted' ... you cant actually tell me in what specific way it is behaving that would justify that its a danger more than say any other country or the US itself.
