I think it is easy to argue that the Chinese govt exerts pressure in "unique ways" - see Jack Ma's 180 in attitude after house arrest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Ma#During_tech_crackdown

Is there one CEO in the US or UK with a similar story?

No, and that's exactly the problem. There should be plenty of CEOs facing direct consequences for their actions in "the west" too.
