I'm not big of a fan of Chinese surveillance but to most peoples point that have already posted here, if this was about privacy then the government should be passing laws to protect consumer privacy as a whole and not just targeting Chinese companies. Really shows that the government doesn't give a shit about your privacy just who's able to get it.
What China can do in violating my privacy is much less than my own government.
Does your government violate human rights?
Is this a joke?

Yes. My government still has legal slavery.
Edit to add: I'm talking about the US. The 13th amendment didn't outlaw slavery, all it takes is for the government to decide you are a criminal and you're now legally a slave. You can imagine this might be a good reason to not want the US government involved in your privacy because it can lead to you being a literal slave.
