I mean it's a profit engine for the CCP and it has its own rootkit (that people willingly install) in the form of Vanguard AntiCheat as well as that other one being used in the new DeltaForce game.

I'll play journalist and link the actual list (PDF). I wondered why Samsung, a company that literally produces military weapons, wasnt on the list. The list is specifically just for Chinese companies. There is apparently a law requiring the Department of Defence maintain and publish this list.

I wondered why Samsung, a company that literally produces military weapons, wasn't on the list.

Probably because South Korea is a close military ally.

The PDF you linked: Designation of Chinese Military Companies.
Samsung is Korean.

And while I'm sure the Chinese Government would love to dig out a map from the Han Dynasty, claiming rule over the entire Korean Peninsula, I doubt Samsung is making weapons for them.

ACTION: Notice of Chinese military companies operating in the United States.

Where is Samsung from, dog

I said I wondered why, my dude. Past tense. As in "I initially wondered why Samsung wasn't on the list, so I looked up the list, and saw it's only for Chinese companies."

It seems like most of the replies you are getting didn’t read your post.

I am always reminded how precise and verbose one must be in text since it's so easy to intend one meaning but have people interpret another.

Naw it was perfectly clear. People just need to read past the first sentence.

Seriously! I know that BLUF is a thing but do that many people seriously not read past the first line before feeling the need to correct someone on the internet? @[email protected] as a fellow member of the human race let me formally thank you for forming a question, seeking out information that either confirms or denies your question, and informing everyone else who may have had the same misconception.

A note for history: this was just a little before America officially went the rest of the way nuts on jan 20 2024.
