It depends on your threat model, but it seems most people in the lemmyverse live in some nato-aligned (or at least not aligned with the PRC) country, so if you are concerned about surveillance from your domestic state it would be safer to use Chinese technology. Sure, the PRC government might also be spying on you but what are they gonna do with that data? You don't live there lol. Unless you're working for the FBI or something, but in that case I hope the PRC spies on you a lot.
