It is their country, they can do whatever they want. I think USA should do whatever it wants too, like blocking Chinese tech companies in the USA.


The US doesn't need to - as the article indicates, most Chinese tech companies have no interest in operating outside of Asia. To give some concrete examples: WeChat (微信), which is entirely ubiquitous in China, has essentially zero market share in the US - parts of the app aren't even localized to English! Baidu is the biggest search engine in China, and it doesn't have an English version. Alibaba operates one of the world's largest online stores (like Amazon), but has no presence in the States. And so on.

Western tech companies want in on the Chinese market, but by and large, the reverse is not true.
