Firstly, I'm not from the US. Nextly, yes. Yes, I would be ok with the Chinese government spying on me, if they were able to.

In the case of the NSA, the NSA coerced/worked with many private US companies and took the data from them (rather than somehow collecting the data themselves). Such coercion of American companies is what I believe should be curtailed.

The thing is, China has no such reach in my life. I don't use any Chinese websites to store my data. I don't use any Chinese social networks to keep up with my friends. I don't use a Chinese email service.
