These firms are very questionably private. They're heavily funded by the Chinese government. Just because there's more than one does not make a company private.

- sschueller 8y agoYou could say the same thing about spacex. Most of its contracts are from the US government.
- mlindner 8y agoContracts for services delivered is not the same as monetary grants for basic startup development. SpaceX launched 4 rockets without an ounce of federal money.
- duxup 8y agoI have no idea bout these individual companies. But I do think the "funded by" say the Chinese government, and "has contract with" the US government isn't automatically the same thing.
- spectramax 8y agoIt is baffling that most people do not know how the Chinese government interferes with private companies. It is nothing like what we see in the west. It interferes, subsidizes, promotes, regulates, funds and insures private companies to the extent that we can just call it Chinese government agency. That is NOT the case with SpaceX + NASA.
