Chinese state-sponsored actors and corporate espionage have also been stealing technology from US companies so it's not like their hands are clean here. Why is a Chinese citizen allowed to come to the US to buy property or start a company - but if I want to do the same thing I am forced by Chinese law to give half of it away to a Chinese "partner"? China wants to have it both ways: concessions for 3rd world developing economies yet to be treated as a world power with its own technology and innovations. China wants the benefits of trade, yet manipulates the hell out of its currency. The current US administration is certainly hamfisted and inept, no argument there. But even a broken clock is right twice a day. People are right to be upset about some aspects of China's policies. That doesn't mean punishing Chinese companies is a good solution, but the US is also under no obligation to just sit here and let China do as it pleases while talking out of both sides of its mouth.
