I think you're really missing the point of this entire discussion in the first place. This came up because of a client request. Your question about whether people from other countries can be considered trustworthy is completely irrelevant. The fact is, organizations exist that are at polar odds with governments that exist today. It is not unreasonable to, for example, have a 'Uyghur Oppression Awareness Group' require that all of their data be handled by NOT-CHINA. It has nothing to do with Chinese people, or their ethnicity. It has to do with the fact that if an employee is able to access their data, and the government has an incentive to take that data, the government can easily force that person to hand over that data. This exists in many countries, Russia, China, USA, Australia, UK, the list is very long. Your argument is flawed because you're arguing the wrong point. The trustworthiness of an individual is not relevant in any capacity.
