There’s a massive difference in the internet itself, but the topic of discussion here is data collection, which isn’t really a massive difference.

Exactly. This isn't a general comparison of china to the US. It's a specific comparison of how bad data collection practices and the only (IMO) sane conclusion is that it's all quite terrible. One is not disconnected to the other either. The reason tiktok can collect all this data is precedents and norms established by google and FB.
