Can the Contributor Covenant  be applied against a corporate entity?
How does this impact developers working for that corporation? For
example could Google be accused of a violation in China and then all
Google developers be banned?

Speaking for myself.

No.

Google doing something in China is outside the scope of the CoC.
The CoC scope sections says this: "This Code of Conduct applies both
within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing
the project or its community."  Whatever Google is doing in China, it's not
happening within the kernel "project spaces".  And Google is not an individual
representing the kernel project or its community.

If there is still doubt about the scope, please suggest a wording change
that would ameliorate your concerns, and it can be discussed.
