There are a plethora of reasons to be concerned and wary about Chinese companies that have nothing to do with race or nationality. There is an intense ideological divide and, as the article mentions, the Chinese government freely uses every power available to them to both suppress the influence of liberal democracies in their own country as well as propagate their own ideology to the rest of the world. To quote from the article, > A leaked internal party directive from 2013 describes “the very real threat of Western anti-China forces and their attempt at carrying out westernization” within China. The directive describes the [Chinese Communist] party as being in the midst of an “intense, ideological struggle” for survival. According to the directive, the ideas that threaten China with “major disorder” include concepts such as “separation of powers,” “independent judiciaries,” “universal human rights,” “Western freedom,” “civil society,” “economic liberalism,” “total privatization,” “freedom of the press,” and “free flow of information on the internet.”
