It’s not a free country, with no free press. In what universe could a lack of regulation on how health data is used in China wind up a net positive for the average Chinese?

For example, what if they augmented their social scoring system (a profoundly bullshit, evil enterprise) with this health data, and decide that you shouldn’t get whatever because your health data says so? What if the health data they choose to harass you with is just strongly correlated with being Uighur?

Also, it’s pretty presumptive that this data is actually valuable for the diagnostic task it’s claimed for. Biotech companies die all the time due to someone’s presumptions.
