This is not the reason why the Trump administration is doing this nor is it even a good reason. The reason is we don’t want a Chinese company which can be compelled by the Chinese government to hand over the data to operate a social network used by so many Americans. Trump even said as much so. If the US government can do national security letters, force Apple to make modified devices for covert operations, And monitor/log metadata, China is able to do so to their domestic companies as well. Really so long as China challenges the US for superiority there is no way to avoid conflicts like this and no real way for China to comply except to maintain a clear #2 position. Inventing and speculating on nonsensical rationale doesn't really help in any way.
