Ehh you could say the same about the US. The US is currently: bombing several countries, putting asylum seekers in high density prisons, blatantly ignoring a global pandemic, assassinating foreign leaders, disproportionately killing and imprisoning black people, using its currency to maintain global hegemony, starting trade wars with pretty much everyone, allies included, spying on the entire world, allies included, emitting a disproportionate amount of carbon, actively rolling back environmental protections, etc etc The US isn’t that different than China, some might consider US imperialism to be a greater evil. If it is wrong for companies to operate in China, how can you justify them operating in the United States?

No. Chinese imperialism is worse. They've already shown their fearful grasp over authoritarian censorship and surveillance technology by locking down Xinjang and throwing Uyghurs into concentration camps. There is no freedom of speech there, and the population has to endure repeated brainwashing through the education system, etc. China's Belt and Road initiative, saddling African countries with debt, and takeover of the South China sea may not be fully military conquests, but represent worrying economic warfare. The US has its fair share of problems, but we are by no means the authoritarian nightmare dystopia that China is.
