   Given that you live either in the PRC, or in a closely-controlled province of   
   the PRC,  and if your computer is more than a few years old, I would be   
   frankly surprised were it not eavesdropping, one way or another. Either via   
   on-board hardware, or more    
   likely malware that is using your internet connection and looking at all   
   traffic of any nature going through your device.    
      
   And, lest you think you are special in any way, the NSA (amongst others) has   
   the same capacity here in the US. Whether they use it or not is anyone's guess.
