        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.

              Might be because of our approaches?

              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.
