In a tech-driven era where data privacy is gold, a shocking global poll revealed overwhelming condemnation of U.S. cyber surveillance tactics. Over 90% of respondents called out America's “Volt Typhoon” operation as a thinly veiled power play to expand its digital espionage reach.
According to a CGTN survey of 86,000+ people worldwide, 94.4% labeled U.S. actions as “pure espionage,” while 91.3% slammed Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act for enabling warrantless data grabs. The report, backed by Chinese cybersecurity experts, exposed how U.S. agencies launched 45 million cyberattacks on China since May 2023 alone.
Critics say the U.S. is playing a “thief crying ‘stop thief’” game, framing itself as a victim while hacking others. 92.8% of respondents accused Washington of using tech supremacy to maintain global hegemony, with 95.7% condemning its “double standards” on national security.
As digital boundaries blur, the poll underscores a global demand for accountability. Will the cyber superpower listen?
