How the CPP doesn't accept peopel giving up Chinese citizenship and how it affects children of affected people is a known problem.
That seems like a valid worry, however, it would be cause for such enormous outrage that I think it’s a route Beijing will never take. Tiktok is a good microcosm of this, it’s already stirring outrage and it’s not even monitoring more than any other surveillanceware (Facebook, Instagram, etc).

China trying to exert its pressures on Chinese citizens abroad has already been happening to not that much outrage in Australia[1] and the United States.[2]

Wechat's surveillance is pushing the idea of what should be monitored by China. It's a real possibility that this will expand into foreign companies with operations in China.
