      That’s a lot of stuff, but we don’t call Alphabet/Google a US Military company do we?

      Though I’m down to call them both military companies.

        Yes we do, it is involved with military things and is technically a US military contractor. What people call them and what they technically are doesnt have to line up. Nobody said tencent is purely a military company, just that they are involved with military stuff and thats why they go on the list.
