It is interesting to play compare-and-contrast. The US government has a policy that is substantially similar in many respect - if I want to have a digital conversation without the US government getting a copy I'm not sure how I would go about it in practice. Certainly in a work setting, everything may as well get CC'd to the local government and US government offices.
The Chinese are upping the ante and this policy is going to be a social disaster for anyone involved in politics. But it is a good moment to reflect that the problem isn't the Communist Party of China specifically, it is a lack of private digital spaces. Spy agencies don't make us safe.
