controversial opinion: as much as everybody knows that China isn't exactly championing the western way of life and western democratic standards, I keep my private files in a Chinese cloud (backups are kept private in a NAS in my house).
Why?
Because they are not in contact with our authorities and, frankly, the chances my private files will be of any interest for Chinese authorities are close to zero.
Not that I have nothing in particular to hide, but as this example proves once again, if life damaging mistakes can happen, they will happen.
