It's painfully apparent you have a fundamental lack of understanding of how the CCP works in relation to companies in China. Or how they behave on the world stage outside of your ech chamber. If they operate in a critical sector, they are controlled by the CCP. I mean, you do accept that the CCP is an oppressive, authoritarian regime, right? If you don't accept that, then we can't carry on because you're not in the same reality or arguing in bad faith.
And before the defense: "but they're really capitalists" - yeah, so what? Errybody greedy. Still doesn't change that the CCP is an authoritarian regime. I have the feeling that no matter what, you're going to move the goalposts because, I dunno, America bad? (and yeah, we've got a lot to account for and I'm no 'merica cheerleader). And no amount of evidence will sway you.
May you have the day you deserve.
