while may be incorporate in the Cayman islands isn't giving data to the CCP? That's SOP here.

The government here can shut down any company here immediately if they don't do what the CCP requires (look at what they did to Jack Ma).

The CCP says it doesn't do that, but they also say they don't have concentration camps filled with Uyghurs in slave labor and don't work to destroy the language, culture, and traditions of Tibetans.

Again, as stated many times, I live in China.
