  PG retweeted it: https://x.com/snowmaker/status/1826069657339703346 https://x.com/snowmaker/status/1826069657339703346 In a democratic multiethnic society you shouldn't question the allegiances of people -- see the history of McCarthyism in the 1950s, or before that Japanese internment, and before that the anti-German sentiment. And not that it matters, but the name Tseng uses Wade-Giles romanization which is not used in China anymore. This indicates the founder may be of Taiwanese heritage. The Pinyin romanization of that name is "Zeng".

    >In a democratic multiethnic society you shouldn't question the allegiances of people Oh yes you should. In this case the founder's allegiance survives scrutiny, but it doesn't mean you should forgo vetting or pretend one's origin has nothing to do with his possible motivation to betray.

    Taiwanese or the family having emigrated from mainland China prior to the PRC adopting pinyin (which includes possibly prior to the Chinese civil war).

  As far as I can tell both founders are American, not Chinese.
