Would "having links to the chinese government" make the cut for this list? because if so, you can add Tencent, and by extension Epic games, Reddit and Riot games.

I think perhaps it be best to limit the list to instances of actual action being taken, rather than just ownership, but I don't know for sure

Who can't you add to that list, though? According to the Financial Times, Tencent alone has board seats on more than 400 companies.

Seems kind of nuts that a country with such a drastically different governance and economic model is allowed to exert (effectively direct) control over so many companies. Seems like a glaring weakness.

I should point out it's 400 companies across the world, not just in the US.

Still, the national grid of my European country is controlled by a literally state-owned Chinese company, so Tencent seems tame in comparison.
