Social media in the US was always something I thought that Chinese companies couldn't penetrate due to cultural differences. The fact that they have means so many more US tech businesses are potentially at risk, because China's tech sector is extremely strong on the software side, even on the open source side (Ant design for react, Vue js). This is despite relatively high anti-China sentiments: see Koa-router being transferred to a Chinese maintainer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19158218, granted there are concerns with transferring a popular package to an unknown person for money, or Huawei's problems penetrating US market. Companies often have to hide their Chinese origins, such as OnePlus (a subsidiary of Oppo).
Thanks to Hollywood, American TV shows, and the Internet being predominantly US/English dominated, every country understands America more than the other way round.
That is probably true with America when compared with any other country. When I was in elementary school some kids thought Canada was just another state!
