I seriously doubt people shopping for cheap stuff made in China is going to erode much of "competitive advantage" enjoyed by the US.
The article also got a lot of things wrong, such as what Temu stands for. Much of the allegations were stated without any evidence. Personally, sounds a bit sus.
Just checked my own Temu install. It received NO permissions on my Android. In fact, I didn't even give it my credit card number. Yes, I've shopped on there before. I trust it only as far as I can throw it. But to outright stated this is a spying tool against American "cleared contractors"? Sorry, I'm gonna need more evidence than "I used to work mil intel".
