That is the goal and why "Break up Google" is being aggressively pushed by pro-Chinese bots on reddit, twitter etc.
"Break up Google" should be translated to "Give all the data to China".

However today, post-TikTok, I know the majority of people will just eagerly jump on the first Chinese spyware alternative that pops up.
