Zoom is an american company by the way. Its headquarters is in silicon valley. Its founder, chairman, and CEO is an american citizen. It has employees in California and China, like nearly all tech companies.

> Zoom is an american company

Correct. But it has significant dev in China. Corporately, it’s American. But when describing its engineering decisions, it’s fair to call it principally Chinese.

By your logic apparently Boeing is an Indian company.

On what basis are you making that claim about how they base their engineering decisions?

Would you call Cisco and Dell principally Indian companies?

Why not, if that’s where a majority of the teams making engineering decisions are?

That's not fair. You should look where their vision, policy , and standards are set. Engineering decisions respect those principals.

How about GitLab then? The CEO is Dutch, working (AIUI) in SF, and the engineering team are all remote. The company is incorporated in the Netherlands, US, UK, and a load of other countries. Does that make them principally a Dutch, American, or ??? company?
