In fairness, the fact that China has given itself the legal authority to comb through lots of expropriated American data doesn't necessarily mean they're using this authority effectively. We may be imagining a dystopian database drawing from thousands of apps and devices, queried by super spies, but it's just as likely that our stuff gets stored on a morass of different corporate servers that don't talk to each other and that bureaucratic incompetence prevents any effective use of it. 6/11
