"The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has warned that American consumers are in danger of being spied on by a government deemed actively hostile to the US, citing that Chinese law specifically states that companies like Luckin must hand over their data whenever they are requested to."
"Tony Zielinski, a former lawyer and Wisconsin politician for over 30 years, told the Daily Mail he fears this business tactic could be used against US consumers, uploading a 'Trojan horse' into the American economy."
"According to DHS, Article 7 of the People's Republic of China's National Intelligence Law of 2017 states that 'a PRC intelligence agency may request that any PRC firm or entity secretly share access to a US business or individual's data, or otherwise face penalties.'"
Luckin Coffee has rapidly expanded, opening over 30,000 stores globally, including 11 in New York City. The chain's cashless payment policy requires customers to use its app, raising concerns about data privacy. The US Department of Homeland Security warns that Chinese law mandates companies like Luckin to share data with the government. Experts express fears that this could lead to surveillance or malware risks for American consumers, despite a lack of evidence for such actions by the Chinese government.
