I am a huge critic of China's human rights record, but "treason" has a very specific legal definition. Doing trade with a country is not "treason".
How many US companies do business in China, and have at least some access/collection of Chinese users' data? Are they all traitors?
How much of a sellout or a cynic do you have to be to call betraying those values for money merely “doing business”?
(edit: added last sentence)
ie A false equivalence.
Me selling flags to Russians is doing business. That has nothing to do with the issue of what constitutes or can be construed as Treason which is certain kinds of business that ally against national interests.
Spoiler: US-backed military leaders and dictators weren't pushed to power because they promised to support those values. US companies profited of that, and by that, the US economy.
>“Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.”
