Recent actions by the U.S. government-banning Chinese apps, blacklisting Chinese companies, and restricting Chinese media access-have been painted as hypocritical.
Chinese business, media, and the government itself are unaccountable and do not comply with the rule of law essential to Western counterparts.
The CCP considers all mainland corporations and those operated by Chinese abroad to be extensions of the Party.
Private Chinese companies, which are overwhelmingly subsidized by the government, might manage their own operations, but top decisions fall to the CCP. The United Front Work Department is a government agency devoted to gathering corporate intelligence, monitoring ideological compliance, and influencing private enterprise both domestically and abroad. There is no independent or private Chinese company.
Chinese media operates as an extension of the Publicity Department of the CCP, and Chinese media outlets are better classified as propaganda networks, not journalistic organizations.
It is a mistake to treat Chinese companies and organizations as independent entities, and an even bigger mistake to believe they can effectively be held accountable to a system that doesn't exist in China.
The Chinese market provides powerful incentive to accept this false equivalency and normalize interactions with Chinese entities, which leads companies and governments into complicity in human rights violations, the subversion of international law in the South China sea, the subjugation of Hong Kong, and genocide in Xinjiang.
