That’s Sam Altman’s data, and he will pen a very weepy oped in the Washington Post if he thinks for a single second that the filthy yellow dragon of the East might be trivially bypassing his lowest bidder security setup to download a trillion petabytes of Esports fast-clicker metadata plus all your credit card info.

Also they come from all around the globe, not China. Though technically there are technically ones from China, but those are made for games with a Chinese audience.
