It doesn't need to be an authoritarian government. The US government can proclaim a company to be of "national interest" at any time and thus determine what it can export or not, as it has done repeatedly over the last few years.

Restricting tech exports is not the same thing as the government taking control of a company.

Really? Would the company subject itself to this otherwise?

No company would subject itself to any laws of it didn't have to either.

You're trying very hard to make it seem like China isn't doing anything different than western countries for some reason.
