How likely is it that its just because its not owned by an american person or company and that this is what america does not like?

Incredibly likely. The CCP really did not have much access to US user data and they were already in the process of moving all data centers for US users into America, which would also be run by Americans.

They're no different than tencent, just making a metric ton of money for CCP investors. There's basically zero chance or even motive for them to hand over any more user data than American companies are also collecting and selling to whoever wants it.

Look no further than the Monsanto-Bayer purchase. The moment the germans bought it tens of thousands of lawsuits came in.

Comical, really. The moment it changed owners and the protective hand was lifted the hits started coming in.

not sure your point, the lawsuit was long and on going before they started to buy them
