I think part of why some people "trust" the CCP more is because if you live in the broader Western sphere, you're probably more likely to get hurt by the US government than by the Chinese one. Many of the same people would not trust the CCP more if they lived in China.
I live in the US, so I'd probably rather have the CCP snoop through my data than have the US government do it. If I lived in China, it would be the opposite.
