What will ECH mean for places like China or South Korea? Do governments have access to Cloudflare logs? Only with court orders?
ECH seems directly opposed to Chinese governments control of the web.

It means nothing. Countries always ask nicely first for a domain to be blocked for IPs from their countries. Companies like Cloudflare or Akamai can either honor the request, or find their IP range blocked (yes, including all the other serviced domains). They usually take the first option.
South Korea is infamous for their internet censorship.
