What about getting a National Security Letter from the US government?
Apparently, your company and your industry, must be important enough that the government will send you a Top Secret document, forcing you to comply, and also forcing you to maintain the secrecy of its existence, and to even deceive your customers of ever enacting its mandates.
This sounds to me like the exact same thing as your argument here. That there are no private American companies, only American subsidiaries.
And if you’re just a small private company that runs a noodle restaurant, then I highly doubt that the CCP really gives a damn about your company. What are they going to monitor? What magic ingredients you put into your soup?

A case by case basis, limited in reach, for only a small subset of companies, and overseen by the Justice Department.
In no way comparable to the Chinese law, which mandates every bit of every company to be surrendered to the state, on demand, without questions.
And the recent Ma/Ali affair should tell you the vast difference in state reach.
That there are no private American companies, only American subsidiaries.
Again, absurd comparison because the above.

Name the last American billionaire who fell off the face of the planet without an explanation that got traced back to the US government for critical. If it were true Theil and Koch (brothers) would have dropped out of the phone directory a long time ago. I think that sums up the way the chessboard is set up for for American vs Chinese style capitalism.
There's no private Chinese companies, only CCP subsidiaries. Comparisons with e.g. Facebook are moot.
At this point, comments like this are plain disingenuous, or purposefully misleading.
