Ahaha, as opposed to the US where... 3-letter agencies don't bring evidence to a judge, they just go to google/meta to get it.

Pointing out obvious bad-faith hypocrisy is actually called "whataboutism", you're doing a hecking fallacy!!
This is absolutely a false equivalence.
Google and Meta choose to give the government all sorts of data that they're not required by law to give, because they don't see it as worthwhile to go to bat for their users. You can choose to use a vendor who will protect your privacy and demand full due process on the part of government requestors.
In China there is no due process and no choice of vendors who would demand it, even if they could.
