I think you are not the target market for cloud services. Companies often buy services based on cost. If the cost is less to get a server in Beijing, many will choose to get one there. The country in which the server is located has little to do with the privacy or security posture of the service.

That makes zero sense to anyone who’s ever worked on hosting things in China. Their Great Firewall makes it a no-go for practically everything and everyone. At the best of times the latency and packet loss are hideous, with abysmal throughput. And then you get cut off randomly for hours, days, or decades at a time on the whim of random CCP members with no recourse. Paying them is a giant pain in the arse as well. It is quite literally never the best option. Hosting sites in Russian — in the middle the current war — would make more sense!
