Its legislation. More transparent governments like the US' are generally trusted with data over closed governments, at least, for the majority of Westerners.

Are you more likely to be harmed by the US collecting data or China?
If a woman is seeking an abortion, is she better off using a service that collects data for the US or China?

I think I'm far less likely to be impacted by China having access to the intimate detail of my life, than my own countries government or companies based in my country.
I can't see the Chinese government selling my medical information to health insurers, but could certainly see a local company doing this.

The US government is not transparent, and people try their best not to trust the US with their data.
