I am not familiar with the terms of these kinds of data sharing agreements, but I know most US confidentiality agreements include a term that enables companies to share confidential data with governments if required by law. Most agreements if not all also contain a clause that companies take reasonable best efforts to try to resist or narrow such requests. I believe I've heard that tech companies can successfully do this on occassion
So even confidential company info can be taken by the government. In the US I think there are practical limits on this and companies have some ability and willingness to resist. From my limited experience the latter is not always the case in china, and I'd imagine the former is less true as well
