How does it surprise people these days?
China had 20 years of relatively good relationships with US, and the world's biggest spy service.
Take a look at Russia, a supposed ally of Beijing. Annually, there are dozens, and dozens of people who are given life for espionage for China. And those are only cases which go public.
Russia is a closed, militarist society, with secret police sticking its nose into everything.
USA is an open country, with open borders, immigration system, freedom to do whatever business you want, and an open society, with a few million people strong entrepreneur class exuberant at the opportunity of doing business even with a place like China.
It is rational to believe that there are way more than just a few random communists who got into your biggest companies, and much likely that there been a many decades long concerted infiltration, and recruitment campaign. This is just what those guys do.
For example, a former "student activist" from Maoist Kharagpur is now running one very big Californian Internet company.
