This is just another example of China using its power to control the internet and stifle competition.

I agree with China. Internet companies should follow local laws and regulations, no matter where they're from.

This statement is full of empty promises. How can we trust China to protect our data when they have a history of censorship and surveillance?

This statement is just a smokescreen to hide China's true intentions. They want to dominate the internet and control the flow of information.

This is a dangerous precedent. If China gets away with this, other countries will follow suit and the internet will become fragmented.

The Chinese government always talks about 'local laws' but rarely mentions international standards or user rights.

So, China is happy to have TikTok in the US, collecting data on Americans, but not willing to reciprocate? Hypocrisy much?

China's stance on data privacy and security is convenient for them, not for the users. They're cherry-picking what laws apply to foreign companies.
Coccinella
This is a slap in the face to American companies and users. China is playing by its own rules and expecting everyone else to follow.

We need to hold China accountable for its actions and protect the rights of internet users around the world.

If China really cared about data privacy, they wouldn't be blocking X. This is about control, not security.

The future of the internet is at stake. We cannot let China control it.
