Uber and Under: China’s Hometown Advantage Claims Another Victim

Don't forget Snowden's laws, in particular the Zero, First and Second laws:

Zero) Any US company might be in bed with government.

First) Any US company might be forced to deny involvement with the US government.

Second) Any US company can be tried in secret courts.

So, basically all US companies are potentially government branches.

This is not tongue-in-cheek.

Can you share the links to news sources describing companies or company officers being tried in secret courts?

If I am right, we are talking about FISA / FISC [1]. This was widely reported during the Snowden scandal, but I do not have the links.

Anyway, this is secret stuff, so by definition you won't find a lot of information out there.

The classic standby; I don't have proof of the conspiracy, that's how far it goes!

Are you forgetting the the secret courts have been proven to exist? I try to be charitable but your comment is either trolling or borne of sheer ignorance.

The existence of the "secret courts" was never a secret.

And since the end of the Cold War, it has always appeared alongside a healthy dose of whataboutism.
