For someone not living in the US how much of a problem for privacy and tracking is it?

Being tracked by US or Chinese government how is it different to me? Honest question by the way, not trolling.

Apart from fighting political dissidents, tracking is used for targeted ads, i.e., to force you to buy staff you don't need. Many people are not fine with psycological manipulation.

If I am not mistaken those can be turned off on miui at least the ones embedded in the system apps.

In jurisdictions under the GDPR that is indeed the case.
