> while abiding by Chinese law
This includes Chinese national security law which is far more invasive than the US law. The party can order a company to do anything they want, or make any physical places they want available to them, and everything is kept under permanent gag order.
- aragonite 3y ago> The U.S. government can also demand user information from online providers through National Security Letters, which can both require providers to turn over user information and gag them from speaking about it > By using NSLs, the FBI can directly order companies to turn over information about their customers and then gag the companies from telling anyone that they did so. Because the process is secret, and because even the companies can’t tell if specific NSLs violate the law, the process is ripe for abuse. https://www.eff.org/issues/national-security-letters https://www.eff.org/issues/national-security-letters

All the above might be true or might not, but there isn’t a way to evaluate the claims.
