There are SaaS companies from China and Russia that register and open their head office in US with token sales staff and retain the rest of their core engineering and management back home. You might not even notice it. Case in point: Bitrix24 is primarily a Russian company.

Singapore is often a choice for those Chinese companies as well. It's hard to define a "Chinese company". There are many Chinese Americans / Chinese Canadians doing business in North America, myself included. If all of their team members and the legal entity are in the US, are they still a Chinese company?

It’s probably easier to define “a Chinese company” as one which is under jurisdiction of CCP regardless of their geographical location - similar to a US citizen having to pay tax even if they never intend to touch US soil again.
