Zoom? A company publicly traded on the Nasdaq and funded in San Jose, CA?

Surprised me too...

"The company has previously acknowledged that much of its technology development is conducted in China and security concerns from governments abound."

The wording of things in the preferences dialog has always convinced me that it's not primarily developed in the US.

Its CEO has ties to the CCP, development is all done in China. Just because it has a company registered and claims to be founded in San Jose doesn’t mean it’s not a Chinese company.

By that logic, Apple is also a Chinese company.

Apple only assembled products in China. Almost none of the iPhone is made in China. They do no development in China. They didn’t start the company in China. They run the app store and iCloud storage separately in China.

So by that logic. No.
