The playing field is already level. If an American company makes a social media app and wants to offer it in the US and in China, and a Chinese company makes a social media app and wants to offer it in the US and China, and those two social media apps are essentially identical they will either both be allowed in China or both be banned/blocked in China. Same in the US: they will both be allowed or both be prohibited. China requires all social media apps there to implement government directed censorship and to help ID people who post things on forbidden topics. That's not a nice playing field to play on, but it is a level one because it does apply regardless of app origin.
