This sorta crazy. If I were visiting China for a bit I wouldn't expect to get a notice from my bank or Google that they have transferred my accounts to a subsidiary subject to CCP control. Next thing you know your blocked from leaving the country.
I'm curious to a few things that are absent from the post but a lot of people in here are talking like they know the answers to:
A. How long this person was in Malaysia
B. What local laws they may have been in breach of or in jeopardy of breaching(or Google)
C. What specific local rules/laws Google was attempting to comply with in good faith(if any)
It's amazing how many people are jumping all over the OPs case like they have this information. If this were a bank account and/or China I don't think everybody would be giving the company the benefit of the doubt and casting shade on the OP for raising concerns...

Similarly if you're a US citizen with a foreign bank account, they want to know. Not as onerous as transferring a bank account to another entity, but the oversight is pretty extensive nonetheless.
