I'll ignore for a second the fact they refused to even acknowledge Tiananmen Square in that post, despite the fact that as was pointed out they're a US company that isn't beholden to China and they're posting in English on their US-based website.
They are actually admitting that they're going to prevent people IN CHINA from connecting to a meeting that is presumably hosted IN THE US. That doesn't make it better, it makes it WORSE. You're basically telling the world that China will dictate how you operate WOLRDWIDE not just in China.
They said it was wrong to do, reinstated those accounts, and are building the functionality to enforce those Chinese laws without ever impacting users outside China.
That's from their blog. https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2020/06/11/improving-our-poli...
