Yes, this data is for American and Canadian companies to collect and sell!

China is a communist country, the US and Canada are liberal economies and benefit a lot from that. Should the US and Canada be allowed to behave like that, why would Europe, Asia and other countries of the Americas still allow US Big Tech to do as they please?

Well I guess if they want access to what those tech companies offer, then that is why.

But maybe they don't want access to the benefits of US tech companies. Thats understandable.

Just like I am perfectly fine with us not getting the "benefits" of tiktok.

The problem is solved in my book if there is a decoupling of these tech industries. Personally, I think the US tech industry is better and will provide the most benefits. But if other countries don't want that, thats fine by me as well.
