Companies in China have Party Committees, appointed by the government. These committees have oversight over how the company operates, and how the board is appointed. The Chinese government has a strong direct influence inside Chinese businesses, that isn't present in the rest of the world.

Party Committees aren't appointed by the government, and they don't have anywhere near the power you're asserting they do.

Please give me a link, I haven't heard of such organization recently...

Edit:

Note that CCP does ensure private firms provide support for employees who are also party member to organize relevant activity.

State-owned company obviously has party committee, and except great control on personnel, like kind of a board.

They're called Commissars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commissar imagine one standing over as you code and reminding yo what the Party expects...and if x feature is complaint with Party ideals or not.

That link makes absolutely no reference to China in any way.
