And here's the best part.

The Chinese here all know that all of what they do is tracked, be that on apps, browsers or from the cameras placed all over. They know it, shrug and have agreed to this way of surveillance.

The Americans, on the other hand, live with a delusional mindset that somehow they have privacy and blindly go about their day.

Neither is great, obviously, but I do appreciate the Chinese knowing what is the state of play.
