Yes, although you're more likely to be extradited from most of the West to the US than to China. So if you're a dissident against the US you may be safer using Chinese technologies.

What does this even mean? Being a dissident is allowed in the US going by google's definition. What's not allowed is stealing a bunch of shit and then giving it away to foreign nations like Snowden did.
