Everyone collects our data… Apple, Google, third party apps… everyone. So what is the really concern with China doing it specifically? Everything I have tried to read about this just talks about how China will use it for ads, but that’s what tons of other tech companies are already doing… so why is China owning our data different?

A company like Google keeping your data is entirely different. US companies are subject to gdpr regulations and actually take them seriously. Also they don’t as a matter of course give away your data when requested, they actually do review warrants when presented and defend the ones they feel they can win.
TikTok, on the other hand, is basically dumping all your data to the Chinese govt. People hear about the social credit system and think it only applies to Chinese citizens. That’s not true, the social credit system is accumulating data on everyone.
