I tried to take your comment seriously, but 'tech companies that might take power away' part made me laugh. What do you think those tech companies are? Their most advanced technology is a chat app and an online mall.

That would be a quick route to the firing squad. As Mao wrote, all power flows from the barrel of a gun, and his student Xi Jinping took copious notes.

Influence public opinion might be plausible.

but destalizie the financial system would be undesirable by any government, hardly to say it's a CCP problem.

Undesirable enough to be taken seriously then (not laughable)? Nobody said it had to be intentional.
