Xenophobia

I drive a Volvo. It's actually the third one I've owned. I understand now that Volvo, a Swedish car maker, is owned by a Chinese company. Does that mean I'm doing business with "foreign entities"?

My computers and phones are all Apple (I joke with my daughter she needs to join us in the "hive mind" of Woz). Most of Apple's products are made in China.  Am I doing business with "foreign entities"?

I have a friend who operates a bookstore and buys books from Penguin, a British publishing concern.  Is she doing business with a "foreign entity"? I raise this because the account raises the idea of Biden family "and associates"?  Is my friend and former employer an "associate"?  Should we both be worried?
No, apparently not.
