Google cannot escape the US government agencies (CLOUD act) etc.

It doesn't matter what the promise.

They could sell their software stack to an independent European partner over whom they don't have any control and who doesn't transmit data back to the US.

IIRC foreign companies must form a joint venture with a Chinese one that would "own" the data and processing.
