Because history has shown
1) it doesnt matter.
2) government contracts are lucrative. a government that seizes the means of production simply means they have the means to pay even more for contracts willy nilly. (a reference to companies that government pursue contracts not apple’s private sector dealings in manufacturing hubs. and finally this distinction is almost not possible in china, but the local chinese companies do operate independently with the party as a major shareholder)
3) you don't really know what the party/regime will do. just contract with them all. you dont get an invite from the head of state and then say “waaait a minute, are you guys far right/left/ideological extremists”, you’re like “hey! New local strongman that wants my company ok lets talk!”
4) dirty laundry is only aired if your client government gets invaded by two coalitions of countries at the same time. it just rarely happens and the only effect is that some idealist college kids notice that you were involved, once every generation
so there’s your reminder
