> And yes, I know facebook hands data over to the us, but that is done with oversight and warrants

Is it? Don't they have their own secret courts where those warrants can't be challenged? Didn't the NSA head lie to congress about what they were doing (with no consequences)? I'd bet the PRC has some kind of "oversight" when getting data from TikTok too, just not the kind where regular people can see or object - but that's no different from what the US is doing.
