I'd bet it all. The CCP is like God within the borders of China. They have omnipotence and omniscience.

To be clear, I wouldn't bet it all that the passwords are stored in plaintext. But I would bet it all that the CCP has their own special key and/or backdoor access which allows them to continue having omnipotence and omniscience while keeping pesky foreign powers out.

I doubt it. The CCP is bad, but it's also pretty rational. Doing this would just be dumb.
