Zoom’s engineering team is based in the PRC. This opens them up to pressure from the dictatorship which has made large scale industrial espionage a public policy goal. Somebody is listening, and likely transcribing, every call at organizations of interest. The source code, public statements, etc are irrelevant; if the PLA wants a Chinese national in China to do something, they will. The penalties for noncompliance are terrifying.
