You can't say definitely that American companies are or are not controlled by government agencies.

No, you can't. His point is that you can say definitively that Chinese companies are controlled by government agencies, though.

Well, don't foget In-Q-Tel: the CIA's very own venture capital company. What better way to launder look-away money, or insert code.

Have a gander at the companies they have had their paws on: Palantir, Inktomi, Docker, ArcSight, etc.
