And if they have access to your data, not even your data, it could be your next door neighbor's data.

Yes, but I don't think it's DeepSeek that's doing it. So you have to understand any company that operates in China and Hong Kong, the one country, two systems thing didn't quite work out as anticipated or maybe as anticipated, but not as stated.

This was purely commercial. And what it was, was we kept seeing companies like Google, Meta fail over and over again, trying to win in China. The formula is actually pretty simple.
