It's being pragmatic. I don't want any data to be transmitted to any server just as much you I assume. If that's not gonna happen then at least China won't be likely to share what it has with the US government and would have a smaller influence over my life compared to what the US would do.

I honestly don't think it will matter much. I don't think BYD, Huawei, Samsung, Kia, Honda, BMW, Motorola, or PayPal are collecting all this info about us so they can just sit on it. Now the countries those companies are based in might have some slightly different standards, but a lot of them share that data, too.

The real solution is to get decent consumer privacy laws, and I'm not sure how to get there.
