Welk yes, but China has been less interested in the data of regular civilians outside of China. Google and the likes have been spying on us all for more than a decade now through the accounts we’ve willingly made with them.
Of course the Chinese are spying on regular people too, but it’s not so much their primary way of making profit as it is for Google.
And like I said: foreign people don’t really care what another country does internally . They care about what affects them: whether their food or their gas is more expensive, whether they can afford to go on vacation, and whether the world feels safe and stable or is a massive powder keg that’s about to blow.
Does it? More than a war that bumps up people prices at the pump almost immediately?
Most people will gladly give their data to big brother, as we’ve seen with Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon. But they hate paying more for the same stuff. Apparently gasoline is a big thing, since it’s often a large portion of their budget.
This discussion is also not about what’s worse for people in your or my point of view, but what effects cause the opinion of people to change.

Its the export of authoritarian tech that effects more countries imho. The slow constant vice of the belt and road too
Boiling pot vs powder keg
