The whole thing seems like nonsensical.

Their website literally has chinese characters on it even in english mode and everyone under the sun including crappy money talk show hosts know them as the chinese player that undercut western players. It's not exactly a secret.

You'd think anyone with two brain cells and confidential data could apply some judgement of their own...

I trust Chinese companies with my data far more than American companies.

		They collect more spy data and do more with it, but none of it directly affects me since they don't extradite from my country or share with my country's police.

		Not sure I'd go that far but I do use them almost exclusively for my coding on the basis that it is an acceptable trade-off. Far cheaper and my shitty apps are really not that valuable as training data

		I have quite similiar stance, mostly because China usually intervenes much less than US in here. Their interest is primarily elsewhere.
