It is difficult to determine whether Chinese businesses are "truly independent of the government,"

No it isn't. It is quite simple. Are they a Chinese company? If so, then they are directly tied to the Chinese government, no exceptions. If they were not directly tied to the Chinese government then they would be directly murdered by them.
