It might not be as official as in China, but the US government has US based companies in control.
The Cloud Act basically says that the Federal government can force any US company to hand over data, even if the data is not located in US.
Even before the Cloud Act was passed, with the PRISM program Big Tech were offering a backdoor to the NSA to access their data.
So, not as visible, but just as effective.
