It's not that the idea the Chinese government _could_ be involved. The Chinese government _IS_ involved (as in it's an indubitable fact), this is also true for any other Chinese mainland corporation. Some even are part of the government itself (like Tencent).
If the involvement of a communist dictatorship that's an enemy to the USA having millions of data points on US citizens and it's allies is a problem or not, that's another discussion (IMO yes but I'm willing to hear others opinions on this).

People ask why I’m not worried that the US has the same info, and I am to a degree, but in the current climate I’m more worried about an attack coming from china / Russia then from the US ( I’m from the EU).

Whether a company wants to or not, if they have servers in China they are giving all information to the Chinese govt.
