I think that these kind of intelligence breaches are normal/par for the course in the 21st Century, but what upsets me right now is the selective outrage here on the Fediverse.

If a company located in Israel sells any kind of product to a government, there's a huge uproar and calls for national boycotts, etc. but the Chinese government has spied on virtually every American, including tracking their movements, and even having the capacity to record their phone conversations, and I hear nary a peep.

@[email protected] It’s just another kind of racism. They expect it from the Chinese to be surveillance crazy.
Also, I think people are trained to think that they can systematically control people within certain groups through collective punishment. Israelis and Jews in general are unfortunately part of those groups.
People seem to believe that they have no control over what Chinese groups do because it’s too alien for them. It’s outside of their scope of having any control over or understanding of.
