1) "As a Swiss company, when it comes to the data of Proton users, we will only comply with the laws of Switzerland, the jurisdiction of our headquarters and where all of our servers are located. As we have always consistently stated in our terms and conditions and privacy policy, any requests which fall outside of Swiss law will be politely refused"
2) "Proton does not have offices, employees, subsidiaries, or any permanent establishments in China or Russia, and as such, we do not fall under the scope of these laws, nor can these laws be enforced against us. However, this does not mean authorities in these countries would not try to enforce the laws anyways."
It's actually a bit more nuanced. Any government in any country can at any time decide that their laws apply to you (because hey, it's a government, they can do whatever they want). However, unless you are operating in that country, there is very little they can do in terms of enforcing that upon you.
Yes, that's the point I was trying to make - your country would have to be willing to participate. That's risky, albeit to varying degrees, depending on the country a person/business reside in because governments can change their opinion at any moment or enter in new agreements to combat whatever they may deem as "global crime".
