Is VeChain an ethical investment?

I own a bit a VeChain and although I have no doubts about the economic success that the company will have in the future, I felt another kind of worry creep up.

As is well known, the Chinese government is fked. They enslave Uighur Muslims in concentration camps, massacre any kind opposition, let people disappear on a daily basis, draw developing countries into debt-traps in order to take their resources, AND are developing a truly Orwellian state where everyone is supposed to be monitored 24/7. All those who are detected as enemies of the panopticon, lose privileges (or basic human rights).

As VeChain is a Chinese company, and you can not build a successful business in China without the governments' approval (many billionaires "disappear" quite regularly), and they are developing a technology that is used for trustless monitoring of logistic processes, which seems like something a totalitarian state would know how to use for the surveillance of companies and people, I am worried that I am potentially funding the horrendous practices of an inhumane state.

Have you guys ever had such thoughts? Are my worries misplaced?
