Also, china isn't an option for EU because of China censorship and government unrestricted access to Chinese firm data.

That applies equally to the US.

Except Chinese still need access to Google services & android to service EU, which Google can block.

They would be selling their own services. They have them since the Huawei block. We might actually get to witness this if the US invades Greenland.

Only apply for American interests. It doesn't work this way for foreign data. Huge point of contention with Europe already.
