Please, American companies may have outsized influence thanks to lobbying, but they don't have any actual power. If the US congress decided it was time for amazon to go, (and the courts allowed it because rule of law exists) then there would nothing amazon could do about it.

It means the Party just wants more control.
And i think it's safe to assume they were trying to balance Party and profit before, which the former does not like. >

Every powerful entity wants more power and control. That's just the nature of the beast
No different than Amazon or the US government. We just have to be vigilant about allowing aforeign power control >

The US government owns Amazon? 
Oh wait, no they don't. >

It's more like Amazon owns the US government.
