As a slight point of contention one of the big differences between German data centers in the US vs in the rebellious state of west Taiwan, is that Germany is part of NATO so at the end of the day when all of the project management reports hit the fan German land and citizens are guaranteed protection by US guns, in the China case they are a foreign directly hostile power. So although many Euro countries might not love they way the US is data harvesting, and with good reason, and the US does have some human rights abuses ultimately US military might stands as a protection against other foreign powers. An apt analogy is, "you aren't allowed to pick on my little brother that's my job." type situation.
