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.

Are VPN services regulated anywhere?

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