The U.S. Corporations Building China’s Military-Surveillance State

Ben Johnson

Some U.S. corporations doing business in China have struck a Faustian bargain to enrich themselves while helping the Chinese Communist Party enslave its population at home and threaten the U.S. and our allies around the world. Big Tech firms have transferred sensitive technology to the Chinese military, helped spread CCP propaganda, and developed the innovations that created the Chinese people’s electronic prison.

Until recently, there had been little way of collating or quantifying these egregious acts of support for the world’s most powerful totalitarian state. The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation — which does invaluable work educating the public about the horrors of Marxist regimes, past and present — has compiled the aid and comfort American businesses rendered to the enemy in its first-ever “Corporate Complicity Scorecard.” This report weights eight corporations — Amazon, Apple, Dell, Facebook, GE, Google, Intel, and Microsoft — and finds them wanting. Of those eight firms, half of them get an F, and another two get a D based on their cooperation with the Chinese government’s oppressive aims.
