There exists a policy that avoids hypocrisy: reciprocity.
Treat the EU companies the way the EU treats American companies and treat Chinese companies the way China treats American companies.

The EU imposes all sorts of privacy requirements and data locality restrictions on American companies. Impose those same restrictions but only on companies from the EU.
