Zoom says it is a US company, and the account it banned was a US account. Imagine if everyone did that. China doesn’t get to make their laws for our companies to enforce for us. We have our own laws. Freedom of speech would be dead otherwise.

Zoom needs to own up to being a Chinese company or stop bowing to the CCP, at least outside of China.

The US government is currently trying to extradite a Chinese citizen from Canada for defrauding a British bank. The idea that a country's laws only apply to its own citizens or companies did not originate in China.
