Which government? It is a global problem.

  What global problem? The largest tech companies are either US or Chinese companies. The Chinese government is starting to take a hard line on Chinese tech giants. It's only the US government who hasn't made a move yet.

For other countries, it's hard to regulate foreign companies especially if legislation can't be enforced, or in some cases, those foreign companies just threaten to leave the market. Only the EU has unquestionable power (i.e. market size) to make US companies comply, and they have made various legislation and rulings that limit the power of these tech giants (eg. GDPR).

    China is a totalitarian dictatorship. The hard line they are taking includes making entrepreneurs disappear for months at a time, presumably into some sort of "reeducation" (torture) camp.
