Edward Snowden showed that the US is spying on their citicens but nobody seems to care. But when China is doing it, everybody seems to lose their mind.
If the group doing the spying is ideologically in the same "tribe", people don't seem concerned. It's both a survival mechanism and our Achilles heel.
For me it's the opposite, they are so far away from me I couldn't care less what Xiaomi does with my info.
This makes more logical sense however most people see foreign as worse than local but controlling.
