Tech companies fall over themselves to comply with China's regulations because: money. The EU is a big market so cynically I feel they will just comply for the same reasons.
Every young, capabl and healthy person prefers the country with most money earned and less taxes taken away. Paying for eg. universal healthcare or taxpayer-paid education (college) is just a burden and not worth it for those people at that time. This does not mean that chinese regulation (eg. local protectionism) is bad for most of the chinese people.
