If I spoke freely about how I feel about the US right now and the direct personal impact of policies implemented by the recent administration, I'd be denied entry into the country to visit friends later this year.

It is inconsequential if the US or China have my data, both will misuse it and I am powerless to protect myself from that fact.

Not using LLMs presents a bigger threat to my career than protecting my data.

If you read my comment as defending the US then you've misread. Also, you're probably just as pissed as 60% of Americans

Sure it does. The way each distributes data between government and industry has some differences. So too does the different disinformation campaigns each country is running against Australia.

But the main point is really that 2 > 1. 1 country scraping your data is bad. 2 is worse.
