Everyone collects our data… Apple, Google, third party apps… everyone. So what is the really concern with China doing it specifically? Everything I have tried to read about this just talks about how China will use it for ads, but that’s what tons of other tech companies are already doing… so why is China owning our data different?

The Chinese government has significant control over mega corps and organised crime. They’re currently setting hackers and trolls on human rights activists who criticise them, enslaving and torturing 100s of 1000s of people, kidnapping, threatening and assualting people across international borders, going after people’s families to control them, killing people to harvest their organs.
They are also petty and thin-skinned.
Realistically all most people have to worry about is targeted ads, same as apple and google, and maybe some propaganda, but you’re dealing with an organisation with all the false moral superiority and unaccountability of a government and all the dispassionate cruelty of a mafia, that takes offense at jokes about a bear from a children’s book and turning your back on pictures of one of, if not the most, prolific mass murderers in history.
