The problem with this line of reasoning is that there is sufficient evidence that all deep states collect information from one another. China, Israel, Russia, U.S. included. While I am sympathetic to how many people use WeChat to communicate with family members bank home, etc., I am a greater champion of U.S. due process, which is what we see here. China protects its domestic companies by outright banning Google, Facebook, Twitter. Then it unilaterally censors anything critical to Hong Kong, Uyghurs or its central government. In basic strategy, one should at least play tit for tat.
