The Chinese government's word is LAW. Just look at how many American tech companies have either a) been kicked out of China for refusing to hand over data to the CCP or given them backdoors or b) started censoring their services to stay in compliance and be allowed to stay in business there.
If the Chinese government wants something from a Chinese business, one of two things happens: 1) they get it (whether you find out about it or not) or 2) the business ceases to exist.
