Basically any site that they don't have full control over/can't buy favor from and has the ability to spread info they dislike, even if it's something as simple as 2+2=4".

And if you're looking for someone outside of China to blame for their internet shield, Cisco was responsible for helping them set it up.

And then Huawei allegedly stole Cisco's IP? Ah, the irony

Of course it’s not a military company, it’s an espionage company.
