Any links on that? Only notable incident was when they apparently sold intentionally mislabeled Chinese-made equipment to U.S. government end users. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortinet#cite_note-37 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortinet#cite_note-37
- freeflight 5y agoI think they are referring to the fact how Fortinet was founded by two Chinese born brothers. Tho Ken Xie is also a Stanford graduate and has had US citizenship for decades.
- baybal2 5y agoNot only that, but them having the bulk of their staff in China.
- uzakov 5y ago> not only that By this logic does it not mean that Google is a Russian/Soviet company? Sergey Brin was born and spent some years in Russia, also Google has staff in Russia(and China in this regard)
- baybal2 5y agoHe was born there, but he did not remain as a citizen of that country, and not been going back, and forth in line of business. A situation is different from where a double citizen operates a sales office of a company from his home country
- uzakov 5y agoSo that we are on a same page, you are stating that any company is de-factor to be considered belonging to country X if: 1) Founder has a double citizenship 2) Has some of the staff in a foreign country 3) Has a sales office in their home country Is above what you are trying to say?
- baybal2 5y agoIn this case, the sales office is their main office, and the Chinese "subsidiary" is where the main body of the company really is.
