Unless it cares about its companies long-term prospects abroad. Look at it this way. China has "every right" to demand its Chinese companies to have backdoors in products (and it has done exactly that). But look what backlash that's creating now against Chinese companies not just from other governments but also from the citizens of those countries. Also, the US government could have at least maintained the pretense of judicial process (even if it would happen through its own US courts). But it didn't. The law says the executive can ask for data whenever it feels like it.
