Large part of, if not entire, Zoom engineering is based in China, so just based on that singular fact IMHO this is not at all a knee-jerk reaction.

Add to that numerous security found in Zoom just over the last few days, and I'm surprised why more companies are not doing the same.

Webex also has a large engineering team in China too.

The senior people are all in the US though.

exactly, plus when you're spaceX or a similar tech company it's much better to be safe than sorry. you don't always have the luxury to assume good intentions.
