Depending on the information this could be anything from basic technical information to all the state sponsored backdoor tooling they’ve implemented across their stack.
The former might “hurt” them on some level if chinese companies steal their designs and sell them as counterfeit, but the latter has security implications for anybody with intel gear from the poorest individuals to the wealthiest companies.
Just saying, you never know how this could impact things down the road.
Nah, I think the latter would be great. Sure, short term it could cause issues, though not really for the average person. China will use it to influence politics for those people maybe, but they don’t have any large use for it. The US government has far more use for it in regard to them, so that’s actually a threat. It would be a risk for the government and western companies.
The benefit of this being lost to China is they’d have to fix what backdoors they can, and maybe reconsider creating new ones. This is a huge benefit to American consumers. It only hurts those who asked for the backdoors in the first place, which is presumably the US government.
I don’t live in China, so I’m not really worried about China’s government. I live in the US, so I’m worried about the US government.
I don’t really care who is hurting large corporations as long as they’re being hurt
Well, we don’t actually know what was taken.

In a more sane world they’d reconsider the monstrous fucking back doors
It’s just infighting among big corpos, so one corpo’s loss is another’s gain. Big whoop
Good. Competition is good for the consumer.
