The data isn’t the risk, it’s more the ability for CCP to leverage influence.

Dialing up things to cause unrest, dialing down stuff critical of the CCP. It’s not an issue about data, or even an issue about speech, it’s an issue of ownership of a media company by an adversary that will weaponize it against you.

Who controls and owns media companies is a reasonable national security question. The CCP knows this risk, they don’t play fair.
