I am having a very hard time believing this statement is in any way true. If you have a link to details, now is the time to provide it.
Check the Twitter link posted elsewhere in this thread of a security researcher finding exactly that.
That's interesting. Links please?
thats not entirely true, while isp's do get a copy of your plain text data if its not end to end encrypted(and likely offsell it), bgp routes would likely need to hijacked or somehow compromised while the data was in transit for a chinese server to get a copy of that data
