This is the kind of drivel which gets posted to that sub regarding why they should care China is "stealing their data" :
if they get enough data, then they can use machine learning to find patterns effectively reading the mind of an average american. The govt can then push specially crafted propaganda aimed at destroying your faith in country, and seed ideas like resisting the chinese is in vain and you should surrender.
With enough time the population will get weaker and starts to fear any retaliation against the chinese because they are TOO STRONG (they are in your mind). Without public support Democratic govts can't do shit ultimately causing US to crumble down and even taken over by chinese.
Data is dangerous.
I'd like to think this is a joke because I would write something like this as a bit, but I've seen a similar argument 1000 times by now.
One of the senators in the tiktok hearing basically insinuated that China was installing a communism activation word in the heads of Americans.
To put it mildly, Americans are not an intellectual people.

It's not hard you just take literally any issue no matter how pointless or obvious the solution and half the country will think it's good and the other half will think it's bad. America can only process new problems through the lens of adversarial politics where nothing can get done. Ultimately because the US constitution is the worst legal framework in history so they can't campaign on actual policy
the complicated statistical analysis necessary to predict American patterns is a coin flip. Of course the UK is simpler just ask what would an incredibly corrupt person do and there you have it the UK government
and the Chinese wouldn't want to intrude in the excellent job the US government is doing at destroying American faith in their country

That's not how "machine learning" works. Do they think they live in a marvel movie?
You don't need special algorithms to read the mind of the average American. The American brainpan consists of "car good, racism, queerphobia, kill the homeless, CONSUME" and that really covers 99% of what goes on in the average American's head.
