That's one thing. Chinese companies can't be seen as different from the government. You can blame the US for a lot of things, but it doesn't come close to the atrocities the Chinese government commits on a daily basis.
Please, read. There is so much to learn that it would probably take years for someone to learn in detail everything the US (and the other western powers, -the "good" guys-) have done.
These are just the official war crimes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_war_crimes

This one is dear to me, the CIA activity in Italy to interfere with our democratic process: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_activities_in_Italy

Let's forget about Guantanamo eh?

Most of America’s worst was in its post-War and imperialist eras. China is entering its own imperialist era.
If you’re upset about American meddling in Italian politics through the 1960s, you’ve surely seen who’s been bankrolling the current crop. In Italy, in the Philippines and elsewhere.
Yet please understand the view on individual rights in China is non-existent. Take for instance Guantanamo bay is child's play compared to treatment of:
- Falun Gong, they organ harvested their followers and sold their organs on the black market
- Entire Muslim population in Re-education camps + chemical sterilization
- Tibet as a people, country and culture is systematically being eradicated by a very well thought out strategy
And many more things happening.
And the imperial games the US played last 30 years. China is playing now, they have secretly taken over many African countries.
And if it wasn't for the military power of the US China would be much more blatant in taking over countries. Wether we like it or not, we need the US as a super power to balance out the others.
The Chinese ones are arguably worse right now, but that's due to a difference in current attitudes of their censors, not because one of them is somehow free from pressure.
This is disingenuous. America hasn’t resorted to polonium tea tactics in the modern era. Chelsea Manning is injured but free.
