chinese censorship and of chinese influence operations fortunately there's good evidence that china is doing this we know they're censoring things on to talk there's a deep concern in the government that they will use to talk as a platform to spread chinese propaganda that they've done it the other areas and finally there's the whole question of what happens to the personal data there can be collected over by defense it's best to see to talk not as an individual case that part of a larger pattern groups in health care companies and insurance companies china's vacuuming up u.s. person data to populate a surveillance database and that's the primary grounds for concern on that question of data about us present donald trump educating chinese companies of mining you say state as you say i'm the likes of facebook and google doing exactly the same thing . they are but they don't have prison camps engine jank they don't violate their
