Breaking US law by not extending GDPR rights to US citizens

I'm actually more curious how this will play out in China. Europeans live/work in China and visit China. I suspect PRC will say "meh" and nothing will happen.

My understanding is that it doesn't apply to Europeans not in the EU at the point of processing. The GDPR would apply to Chinese companies providing services to EU residents. I am certain the Chinese courts would not enforce GDPR, but EU courts may enforce it against Chinese companies within their reach by e.g. cutting them off from EU markets or confiscating assets held in the EU.

China/India etc. does not give much damn about EU laws any ways.
