the key difference between the two countries. One accepted it, the other is actively fighting against it.

China has one of the strictest personal data protection laws in the world, surpassing the EU GDPR in some respects. The United States has basically nothing.

Your statement is correct, but I'm guessing this isnt what you were intending to imply.

Not implying it doesnt have some strict protection, in China, you legitamately have to formally sue a company to get peoples information (e.g Mihoyo often sues discord to find the user information that leaked info). The thing is depending on how severe the surveilance is, there are people actively fighting it in the west, hence the whole movement about disabling autonomous vehicles for instance with cones.

The implication here being that what, out of 1.5 billion Chinese people, none of them are against the current policies? Thats's a hell of a conclusion

Im not saying there arent any fighting it, definely not a black and white situation. But ones outright going out and attempting to destroy the said system, enough so that even the coty who approved the usage is also fighing it to some extent.

Theres a reason why these cars are not approved in most of the U.S yet, as there are a LOT of people who dont want them
