What is the ownership structure, is it fully Chinese controlled, and would Unkel Sam be able to trace posts on there back to US users?

Speculation. But there's no reason to suspect otherwise. They're not some rebel information outpost, they're a corporation who are going to follow the laws required of them to do business.

They're not beholden to US laws and I can't imagine any Chinese laws requiring them to snitch to the great satan

If they wanna stay on the Play and Apple store they're going to comply with US law enforcement.

They’re gonna do what’s best for the Chinese people. Running afoul of the US govt does not benefit Chinese people. Why would they do it? There is a fair amount of risk involved and very little reward.
