That is true genious. "Lets build a social network which will eventually force our adversary to restrict freedoms of their citizens, eventually moving closer to us..."
It is counterintuitive that the US government is introducing legislation that will seemingly appease the Chinese government, given that the US is a democratic society that values individual freedoms. This raises important questions about why the government is falling for China's manipulative tactics. By restricting freedom and ignoring democratic principles, it appears the US government is playing into China's hands, providing justification for their own repressive actions. The USA needs to be vigilant in guarding its democratic values and principles, and committed to promoting these ideals around the world, instead of compromising them.

What I'm saying is that the ruling classes in China and the US arguably have more in common with each other than they do with their common citizens and the appearance of conflict is useful for both sets of elites.
