Apparently, whether or not the engineers are Chinese is the deciding factor. as long as Nicklas Backstrom is designing the EV, its all good. Or in other words, Chinese scary!

corporations are financial fictions. the risk I am discussing is literally the mass destruction and murder of civilians during a time of war. individuals carrying it out will be subject to sanctions (including elimination), only those who are protected by their government will carry out such instructions.
and therefore national security focuses on firms which have engineers that are protected thus.
do you have evidence that if they wanted to do that they would not be giving orders to European or American engineers? as I said, financial fictions don't matter in matters such as these.
if you have evidence that they have Chinese nationals working as engineers without oversight, you should submit it to the government.
