I think even libs can’t say you’re being unreasonable if you give them these reasons why you shouldn’t care about the alleged spying, at least not without slowly painting themselves in a corner as sinophobes. I genuinely can’t imagine what unhinged reply they’d come up with if you tell them “Western companies also spy on you, and you live in the West, not in China”. But I’m sure they’ll find something

“It’s dangerous for a states security if a foreign authoritarian government has information on ways to influence your citizens.”
Is the reply I’ve gotten before. Honestly not the worse opinion… if you applied it to the US. Otherwise it’s eye-roll inducing.
