Chinese government vs American VCs doesn't equate to "slight different players."

True. The Chinese Communist Party's motto is "Serve the People". [0]

They might not always live up to that, but at least the aspiration is there.

No such pretense from American VCs.

American VCs and American Government mingle at the deepest levels. Yes, slightly different is correct.

This isn't true unless you're limiting your reference point to Trump's second term.
