Right, but if you're not in China at all, the Chinese government don't care about you.
So it's (in some respects) safer to have your data managed in a foreign country than in the country you live in, as a counterpoint to the claim that "it makes so much more sense that your data is subject to the law in the country you reside in".

So it's (in some respects) safer to have your data managed in a foreign country than in the country you live in, as a counterpoint to the claim that "it makes so much more sense that your data is subject to the law in the country you reside in". There is a point to that.

To clarify, I'm saying it makes sense from a legal and societal perspective, not from a personal privacy perspective.
