The point is to get the location coordinates from the user device to the Chinese database. How they do it is totally upto them. I am not saying it has to happen through Beidou satellite system.Why wouldn’t you just use the cell towers, what’s the need to beam the data back to the satellites, bandwidth is cheaper on cellular networks.
But having Chinese software or Beidou compatible devices even remotely capable of transmitting data that can be receiving by satellites.
Means the possibility of Chinese surveillance through its satellite communication systems or some other optimal path can't be brushed aside.BeiDou-compatible devices can transmit data back to the satellites, even in text messages of up to 1,200 Chinese characters.
