Wonder how this will affect Chinese citizens that have used and trusted Opera Mini to bypass censorship and the great firewall of China in the past. What browsing history is kept by the Opera Mini servers?

Opera mini runs Chinese servers separately. If ppl use Opera mini in mainland China, their activity is already on servers which the gov has a legal access to.

Opera mini , specifically , uses it's servers to render mobile optimized pages, so all of the search history is on the servers.
