you're right. for me personally, i think it's much worse.

the odds that chinese goverment data collection ever affects me is minimal. as a canadian citizen who sometimes visits the US and routinely uses services provided by american companies, the odds that US government data collection affects me in some way is pretty high.

Indeed the US data collection can have a much deeper and more immediate negative effect on Canadians' lives.
