Depends on what you mean by security.
They are reasonably OK if you mean sending in your payment
for something, though not unbreakable.
But, for documents that live there for a while, not only are they
all very penetrable, but susceptable to being coerced by governments
to reveal what we would normally think would be secret and private.
Google has also provided information to the Chinese government about
users and so have several other companies.
