A viewer recently asked in the comments section why Beijing is cracking down on its own country’s companies.

There have been many explanations offered. One possibility is that these companies are getting too big, and Beijing is nervous about these tech firms’ increasing power.

Another reason could be that Beijing is concerned about Chinese companies’ data falling into foreign country’s hands.
