Maybe, but we must consider that the dams to be build by China pose great risks to India. There is a study by the Austria-based think tank Lowy Insitute from 2020, suggesting that “control over key rivers effectively gives China a chokehold on India’s economy – and poses a wider regional threat.”

China has claimed express ownership over Tibet’s waters, making it an upstream controller of seven of South Asia’s mightiest rivers – the Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra, Irrawaddy, Salween, Yangtze and Mekong. These rivers flow into Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam, and form the largest river run-off from any single location. It is estimated that 718 billion cubic meters of surface water flows out of the Tibetan plateau and the Chinese-administered regions of Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia to neighbouring countries each year.

Nearly half that water, 48%, runs directly into India.

The downstream impacts for India’s economy are severe, and so are the environmental risks as China builds the dam in an earthquake-prone area.

Chinese RedNote App Exposes Sensitive User Data — (18 min, here is an alternative Invidious link)

TLDR: It’s sending most of the app data in cleartext HTTP instead of TLS, while some of the TLS are not done in a secure way. It is true that other social media apps send data back to the servers, but here it appears to be less safe, enabling attackers to do so in transit.
