I have seen a lot post talking about how Chinese companies collect US citizens data but I never seen a Chinese person complain about it. Do they think US doesn't have the power to abuse that data?

Really curious

Actually 小红书 has a in built feature where it automatically translates Mandarin to English so that might not be the issue
