I have a Huawei phone. I live in the Netherlands and the phone was bought here. The videos are not deleted from my device.

If they do delete, then at least they only do that in China, and they treat other jurisdictions differently.

Correct, that twitter thread is only about Chinese people living in China.

"If they do have slave labor, then at least they only do that in China, and they treat other jurisdictions differently."

Good to know if that if something is bad, but doesn't affect you personally, it is suddenly no longer bad.

There's a huge difference between "I condemn this practice because I consider it bad anywhere" vs "they are a threat to our country".

The fact they can should be the worry.

I think technically all the cloud sync picture/file platforms (Onedrive, iCloud, gDrive, Dropbox, etc) can do that, can't they? How I understand it, if I (or the platform owner) delete something from one of the synced devices, it should be deleted from all the synced devices.
