Communist China keeps a much heavier thumb on its citizens and businesses than the United States-and can compel its companies that do business in America to share customers' personal data.
In recent months, the CCP released a draft Data Security Law that would tighten and centralize state control over data.
The law subjects Chinese companies to fines if they share any data that harms the rights of China's citizens, organizations, or public interest.
It gives the CCP grounds for penalizing businesses that use data in a way the CCP does not like.
What we already know about China's data harvesting is alarming.
In September, a leaked database revealed the Chinese company Zhenhua Data collected data on 2.4 million people, and at least 20% of that data came from sources not in the public domain.
There is no question that China will use these new technologies to mine and analyze data.
