Because trade only really works if there's balance and bilateral rules. Opening your nation to trade, while the other does not, and does things like subsidize their companies to put yours out of business, is not good. The US should probably play tit-for-tat and ban an arbitrary Chinese company for every US company banned by China. That way, China understands at least the repressions. Of course, that policy might not work, as it would just spiral up into a big 'ban fest', but you get the idea. Banning games is a funny thing, people like games. People are going to be upset. When people are playing games, they are not agitating. When people are bored, they think about things like politics.
