I'm pretty sure, actually, that this affects _every single company_ that has anything the Chinese government would want. If you want to tell me that there aren't any spies among e.g. 100K Intel/AMD/Qualcomm/Google/Microsoft/Amazon/Apple/Facebook/Tesla/SpaceX/etc employees, I'd say you're very naive. There are also likely domestic spies on staff, as well. You won't even know who they are, and all the right parties know everything they need to know. Basically any company of any consequence which doesn't do DoD-style clearances and compartmentalization for everyone has a bunch of spies on staff, 100% guaranteed.
