Ashley, Jared and OPM how many people have data that can be used to blackmail them? The answer is probably a lot higher then we would like to think. From marriage infidelities to criminal activities online there is a significant amount of material that could cost someone their job or their marriage or even as with Jared their freedom. This allows those people to be extorted by criminals and eventually leaves them open to blackmail by any police state with a sophisticated monitoring system.
Communist China has that monitoring capability and a massive data base that allows them to make connections between any number of people. It is therefore in a position to covertly manipulate people and get them to act in a way that is advantages for their police state. From getting factories sent to their country to preventing sanctions for their hacking any number of decisions can be manipulated to China's advantage with almost no way of detecting their influence.
The combination of a blackmail database with total monitoring capabilities on smart phones is a disaster. http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/1471152-china-is-building-a-database-on-americans-using-its-domestic-spy-program/
