I believe the USA is squarely within its rights to reciprocate the ban that american companies such as Google and Facebook face in China. So the move is justified on commercial grounds alone.

Who's to say that the latest imported batch of Ramen aren't part of a Japanese plot for a new Pearl Harbor involving explosive Ramen. But the only logical conclusion to this way of thinking is to completely isolate a country from the outside world.
