There's a massive difference between having a country spying on it's own citizen versus having an adversarial country doing it. The three-letter agencies would likely not be trying to sabotage or destroy their own country's economy and global standing for one.
As someone from the EU, could I not use the argument to argue that for me it's both an adversarial country?
Shits like this is what makes me wary about Chinese made video games proliferating in the west. You never know if your kid's genshing impact or black myth wukong is listening to you and siphoning all data on your local network to China. A competent Western administration would have banned it all years ago. But instead of securing the future of Western civilization, they want detente and cheap plastic goods instead. S…

I don't know why you're bringing Taiwan into this, and I don't think TSMC has an app...

Don't be ridiculous, all that garbage is VLAN'd off, and my router has strict firewall logging for any suspicious outbound traffic.
I'm sure I can trust my Chinese made router to handle this safely for me.
This is why im always feeling bad when putting mobile versions of games i love made by netease on my phone. Where i felt especially bad was Dead by Daylight mobile. Persona 5X is not made by NetEase but i still dont have a good feeling about them. I would think they would be more restricted in what they can collect on a Phone OS (android in my case) but i still wonder if there is some way to fully isolate shady apps.
Enjoy the games and feel good.

> is listening to you and siphoning all data on your local network to China. How is it any different from western apps listening to you and siphoning all data on your local network to 3 letter agencies?

I swear I'm not trying to be dense on purpose, but come on.
Unless _woosh_, in which case well played.
