Imagine the Orange government demanding some delicate data for some political or pretty reason - should provider still comply? What if Chinese government does the same? Also I might be mistaken, but doesn't US force providers not to disclose the request to affected party, at least they can?

    Imagine the Orange government demanding some delicate data for some political or pretty reason - should provider still comply?

    Believe it or not - when legally obligated, even providers like Google and Apple can and do comply.

    What if Chinese government does the same?

    See above. If a company is operating in China, that company (or branch) has to comply with the local laws. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

    Also I might be mistaken, but doesn’t US force providers not to disclose the request to affected party, at least they can?

    I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if that was the case.
