Sure but the cops aren't going to pull you over based on what you think about Chinese policy. Government do mess with people across international borders, but the capacity to do that is inherently limited.
That still doesn't resolve who is more likely to blackmail or otherwise misuse data. I think it's a Chinese saying: the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.

You might be surprised to learn that China has operated clandestine prisons in the US!

Blackmail is still a possibility ...
Plus your data can be sold on the market. To US based entities. While the Chinese still hold on to the data for future uses ...

Can't Chinese government exchange the data with your government whenever they need it?
