This is just as they should though, it's not as if the U.S. would feel it's a good idea to host their cloud services in China on Huawei kit. For better or worse the days when "gentlemen do not read each other's mails!" fell by the wayside decades ago.
Nations need to either agree specifically not to read each other's data in transit (perhaps this is the EU-US "Safe Harbor" that's being talked about?), or assume that their data would be read and plan accordingly.
Note that we already have to do this planning as tech developers anyways. If we had sensitive PII we wouldn't store it unencrypted on a shared host with world-readable files, would we?
