Same way US-based companies can’t refuse gag orders and other kangaroo “secret courts”.

US companies can and often do refuse federal law enforcement requests, then they tell the world about it. Two things not done, ever, in China.

Law enforcement - sure. But not American security agencies, thanks to gag orders and secret "security courts".

Again, your comparison falls apart right away.
1. There is a court in the US (called FISA), with procedure and some transparency. Neither exists in China.
2. Requests have been denied, just not that many. (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/fisa-court-has-onl...) But that proves they have the ability to say no, which is what we are discussing.
3. All of the above can be improved, but shifting the argument to "what's bad about the US system" away from "what China is actually doing" is drifting into deflection.
