I'm not surprised, because the Chinese also have the most need for a VPN. Contrary to the article I think them "trying to keep a low profile" is not a bad sign at all, and you shouldn't really need to worry about privacy if you're using end-to-end encryption through the VPN.

Except if the phone itself contains an exploit.

Privacy is not a big concern for the Chinese based VPN services. It’s useful for both accessing websites blocked inside China, and also Chinese content blocked outside China
