I would probably argue that China is a little different to the UK, given that China is a one-party state.

Yeah maybe the UK government shouldn’t be able to spy on Apple messages sent anywhere in the world. But maybe UK agencies like GCHQ should be able to get the messages of specific individuals who threaten the UK, with a court warrant, like how law enforcement has been able to bug the phones of criminals with a court warrant.

I dunno. Maybe I should educate myself more on encryption and how it all works.
