They do have a large R&D presence in China.
As of January 2020, they had 2,532 full-time employees. Of those, 1,396 were in the US and 1,136 were in international locations. Within the 1,136 is "more than 700" employees in R&D in China.[1]
A LinkedIn search for "engineer" working for "Zoom Video Communications" in location "United States" shows up 558 results.[2]
Their entire management team is in the US, and of their 17 data centres, only 1 is in China.[3][4]

My point was that you should check your facts before making an argument. Not exactly a crazy idea, right?
Your “point” was to be an asshole, and congratulations you’ve now succeeded twice.

I think you're just being overly sensitive to criticism. Not admitting that you're bullshitting is very weak. Maybe the two goes hand in hand.
They do have support people in the US and a handful of non-support engineering which is why I said thanks and immediately updated the comment to say "majority" instead of "entire" since it's more correct.
That technicality is less relevant to the main point of the argument.
