I have seen a lot post talking about how Chinese companies collect US citizens data but I never seen a Chinese person complain about it. Do they think US doesn't have the power to abuse that data?

Really curious

It's just that most people dont know. Companies collect data of everyone, yet even in America you can't say that everyone is aware of it, let alone making it seen in major media/ social media (like 小红书 you've mentioned).
