Re: 1 and 2, I'm not sure this is as tit-for-tat. China has a -lot- of business regulations unfair to outsiders that the US doesn't and hasn't retaliated much

Re: 1 and 2, I'm not sure this is as tit-for-tat. China has a -lot- of business regulations unfair to outsiders that the US doesn't and hasn't retaliated much on, even if it puts us on uneven grounds so to speak. And it's not like TikTok is so advanced and the US can't compete so we're banning it. There are many apps from foreign countries which are popular and not banned. It's a fear, legitimate or not, about data access and data harvesting and potential device control to what's becoming a direct adversary. Re: 3, can't argue there.
