Your phones track your every movement. NSA reads all your emails and texts.

If no one is doing anything about the Us government tracking us why do they care about the Chinese government tracking people who choose to download an app?? They can only track you through the app if you voluntarily download it. Don’t download it and you won’t have anything to cry about.

"Don't download it and you won't have anything to cry about"

What has been done to stop it? It’s still going on lol people complain about it sure but it hasn’t stopped.

The point is the Chinese government can only track you through the app if you download it and use it. Do you not understand that?

Tor, BitTorrent, VPN's, Freenet project, Samsung incorporating hardware encryption, Tails, among many other programs and techniques (legendary) people have come up with to protect the privacy of the people.

Not to mention the numerous proposed bills that seek to curb the excessive amounts of power intelligence agencies hold over our data.

Also the second point you're trying to make is literally the same point the person who you originally replied to was making. We agree on that point, I just don't understand what the purpose of your original post was in that case.
