All Chinese companies are the CCP. That’s how the system works.

And all US companies follow US laws and crazy people say they do the bidding of CIA/NSA/FBI- which they do, to a degree.

Your's comes across as a sort of whatabout that nobody asked for and mine is just a statement of fact related to what you mentioned.

It's not inaccurate to say that the Chinese government has a tighter leash on all business in their country than the US has in theirs though.
