Great. One more CCP spy machine.

Zynn,* **which is not available in China**, rewards users in the U.S. and Canada*** with cash when they invite friends to download the app..

There you go. Specifically targeting the US & Canada. Not available in china but freely available in US & Canada. And just before the US elections too. The more to influence people with.

The fact that they are PAYING people to use their spy machine...in the election year...just goes to show how desperate their propaganda machine is.

**Zynn has sought to downplay its Chinese origins, with its website offering little information about its background and giving an address in Palo Alto, California. **

Yes, typical. They are good at hiding the truth.

"Zynn is a product only for the US, and we launched Zynn for the U.S.," he told AFP.

Because it's election year. You need something to influence the US voters and control their social media, right?

Zhang said Zynn plans to continue paying users in the long term, but will shift towards rewarding "content creators" in the future, while generating revenue through advertising

The typical china-nese bait & switch tactic.

And it comes with a free spy function for the Chinese government.

Made by Chinese, Controlled by Beijing - exemplified by Zoom.

Little wonder the US doesn't want Huawei involved in any 5G operations or State sensitive operations - quite rightly so too.
