Huawei on List of 20 Chinese Companies That Pentagon Says Are Controlled by People’s Liberation Army:
The Pentagon put Huawei Technologies and Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology on a list of 20 companies it says are owned or controlled by China's military, opening them up to potential additional U.S. sanctions.
In letters to lawmakers dated June 24, the Pentagon said it was providing a list of "Communist Chinese military companies operating in the United States." The list was first requested in the fiscal 1999 defense policy law.
This list includes "entities owned by, controlled by, or affiliated with China's government, military, or defense industry," Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement.
[...] The companies on the list are:
Aviation Industry Corporation of China
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation
China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation
China Electronics Technology Group Corporation
China South Industries Group Corporation
China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation
China State Shipbuilding Corporation
China North Industries Group Corporation
Huawei Technologies Co.
Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co.
Inspur Group; Aero Engine Corporation of China
China Railway Construction Corporation
CRRC Corp.; Panda Electronics Group
Dawning Information Industry Co.
China Mobile Communications Group
China General Nuclear Power Corp.
China National Nuclear Power Corp.
China Telecommunications Corp.
Given how inter-connected the world is, how practical would it be to avoid all such Chinese companies?

In the US, at least, you can complain about the government and protest in the streets -- just the threat to crack down on anything like that in China seems like control enough.
When all Internet traffic goes through a censorship firewall, your "social credit score" turns peer pressure into a published metric, I don't even know if they separate out the use of national-level military force to put down local uprisings, how can the Pentagon say that the level of im/explicit government "influence" over the entire civilian/industrial/military population there doesn't approach the level of what would be considered "control", or at least "undue influence" here?
To be SJW about it, I use "officer". It's not like they're landed gentry or been knighted or something.

You can also be pepper sprayed and arrested for doing so, even when you are not hostile to the officers doing so.

Or be a reported on a live broadcast and get shot at by police with non-lethal but permanent injuring roundings.

Greg Douchette is a broke ass lawyer and full time Twitter clown. He should be the one doing the field reporting.

In the US, you can protest all you want, it doesn't change anything at all. It's just an illusion of democracy. At least China doesn't pretend to be anything other than a police state.
