China's a big country with a lot of companies, I wouldn't lump them all together.
- Sangermaine 8y ago>China's a big country with a lot of companies owned and controlled directly or indirectly by their government, an authoritarian dictatorship. It’s disingenuous to pretend Chiba is just another market of competing private companies.
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoWhile Huawei is probably indirectly controlled and owned by the PLA, many Chinese companies are not owned by the state, like Tencent.
- Lionsion 8y agoYou don't need to be owned by the state to follow commands from it.
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoYes, but that isn’t unique to China or even authoritarian economies. It’s definitely a shade of grey thing.
