If that was true, then events like the Huawei USA "Tappy" [1] incident wouldn't have occurred. In any case, I'm not trying to take a stance here but merely wanted to correct your statement that they had more engineers in the US than in China.

- jdm2212 7y agoTheir employees are mostly American, as I originally stated. Their engineers are not. Huawei USA is almost certainly majority controlled by Huawei China, whereas Zoom's Chinese subsidiary is almost certainly majority controlled by the US parent company. Hence, Huawei is a Chinese company for practical purposes (the people calling the shots will go to jail if they don't do what the CCP wants) and Zoom is an American company (the people calling the shots go to jail if they break American law, and are mostly out of reach of the CCP).
