I don't see how this isn't just discriminating based on national origin.

It'd be one thing if there are actually some nefarious ties between Eric and CCP, but all we are going by is he's originally from China and there could be influence by CCP on people from China. It's not bad to point out a connection, it's bad to point out a possible connection based on nothing more than where the guy is from.

There is plenty of evidence suggesting that Zoom collaborates with the CCP without it, there was undue pressure to terminate activists without users from China.

It is best to focus on these sorts of links rather than someone merely being from China.

That I'm fine with. If there is evidence that suggest Zoom is doing something unsavory then we should call them out on it. But suggesting Zoom isn't trustworthy simply because the CEO is Chinese is distasteful.
