Blackmail me how? By giving information to the people who would have had it otherwise?

Hardly a defensible position to blackmail someone from.

Anybody that has lots of videos from you could train a deep fake realistic model and create a fake video depicting you committing a major crime. Sadly blackmail is the easier part.

I am failing to understand why I would prefer the US to have the ability to do this over China though.

This depends on if you can vote to change the presidents of US or China or not.

I can do neither.. that's kinda my point.

I have super powers on both sides, one can influence the policies and politics of my country much stronger than the other[0].

Why would I choose that side, they don't give me more rights and they don't give me any capacity to complain.
