Chinese does not automatically mean bad. By your logic, 14 Eyes VPNs should be order of magnitudes worse since you are implying berating Chinese VPNs for China’s track record on privacy, which while true, holds much more for 14 Eyes and affiliate nations.
By that logic you can berate Mullvad VPN from Sweden, part of 14 Eyes (not 9 or 5) as well.
In all, dumb logic. Use technical merits. We all know China is not a bastion of privacy, does not mean 14 Eyes is better in any way.
Chinese services aren’t bad because of the government’s privacy policies. It’s because seemingly Chinese corporations can do whatever the heck they want. There is not a whole a lot in place to force them to do the right thing, if Opera was a community project I’d recommend it.

OperaVPN is a botnet proxy, but it is no worse than the VPN addons like Browsec or any free commercial Western VPN apps.
Are VPN services regulated anywhere?
