CMV: The silicon valley companies (Google, Facebook etc.) harvesting your information is not the same as Chinese companies harvesting your information

With a lot of criticism towards Tik Tok and other Chinese apps being described as spyware and unknowingly harvesting the users personal information, there is always the counter argument  "But Facebook/Google/Apple/etc do it to".  Yes they do, but there is a massive difference between a profit driven company doing it and a company under the control of a hostile regime doing it.  
Any successful company in China has to be in bed with the government, there is simply no way around it in a totalitarian regime.   
In  the USA, Apple point blank refused to weaken their encryption for the law enforcement and eventually won out with it. Do you think Tencent would say no to its government?  
I am by no means condoning the practice of either side when it comes to data harvesting or saying that everyone in the silicon valley  is a saint, but I am sick of the false equivalence  between them being used as an argument.

What would the CCP do with your information that impacts you in a worse way than the US government would do with your information? The only company that you list as a data secure company is Apple. Google, Facebook, and Twitter are not secure at all so your argument wouldn't work.
