You seem to be intentionally ignoring the parent's point.
They're asking why, if China doesn't allow US ownership of Chinese companies, should the US allow Chinese ownership of American companies, not some abstract question of fairness. Currently there are severe controls on US activity in the Chinese market, ownership restrictions among them.

If they want to shoot themselves in the foot, that's their problem. This economic mantra has been pushed by the United States for the past 70 years, mostly to get developing markets to open up to US companies. Maybe we should apply it domestically, and see what happens?
