I hate how I have to defend a very flawed piece of software but "they're Chinese!" does not speak to the merits of the software and frankly, is ignorant at best and racist at worst. If you can find who their parent company is (it's on their site, yes, even when you posted this, check archive.org), DNSDumpster and Cloudbleed would show that their servers are all "offshore" to a Chinese company and the direct operators of the service is a branch based in Singapore. I'm not saying that data privacy issues aren't real in China, but rather, it's not unique to China and just as American companies leverage Switzerland or BVI for privacy, America represents that to Chinese individuals. Companies like AWS work directly with the American government. Even Protonmail gave in to Swiss courts, acting in a manner that really damaged Swiss prestige and entirely voluntarily, in one of their requests for info from Europol. Do you post such warnings AWS, GC, GDrive, Rackspace, etc..'s reviews?

To simply insinuate that everyone in the country, 1.5+ billion people, are a monolith and the ruling party's policies are not only followed but followed obsequiously is really insulting. You may not hear about it, but the CCP puts out a lot of official statements that nobody follows. If there was a reason for them to get your data (and in that case, using any cloud storage is dumb), it's not necessarily easier to deal with the foreign branch located overseas compared to the domestic branch of a foreign companies that's down the street. All Chinese websites are required to register with the local police department and get a beian certificate that's placed at the bottom of the front page. The fact that they set up in a jurisdiction that allows them to evade that for their app says something, at least.

If you want to check out how Chinese operators foreign servers actually think, hostloc is the place. But imagine that the acts of every president whether you voted for them or not is aggregated in a way that discredits you based on your place of origin - you can't pick your place of birth, by the way, it's the one thing nobody has control over - and then read your comment. I worked with dissidents. They're not in the habit of using GDrive and suddenly needs to sync that to two Megas. And one doesn't stay a dissident for long if their opsec doesn't cover at least the basics.

The CCP doesn't care about your porn stash either. You can relax. The app has enough actual software problems that your "yellow peril" moral panic is frankly gratuitous.
