I’m not sure how this is incompatible with what I said. What your point?
It's already gone because it's not disclosed when or why it is moved to servers where the Chinese govt can decrypt it, but I guess it depends on who you're worried about having your data
No one outside of China has their data stored there, though. Every tech company that complies with China hosts the data in China and usually makes the Chinese version of their software work differently as a result. The Chinese government isn't able to just see everyone else's data.

This is true, but considering all the US government problems with China, if Apple does send your data to Chinese servers regardless of where you are, I’d guess governments in the US and Europe would make iPhones forbidden for all their sensitive personnel.
You know there are some of us who don’t use iCloud so you can stop assuming all of us are in this boat lol
It’s already gone then. There’s nothing I can do about it.
