No, of course not.
The governments of where these global digital infrastructure providers reside should sanction China. These global companies will then be forced to close their China businesses down just like what is happening right now in Europe with Russia at the US' request.
Of course this would mean that, unlike in banking where Europe is the biggest loser when liquidating their Russia business (see Austria and their RBI), this time the US would be the biggest loser. Ergo, the only way we'll ever see betterment is if someone else (i.e. the EU) sees these sanctions through.
Since the lobby building is right next to the EU's HQ in Brussels and they go partying together every Thursday, I highly doubt this will ever happen.

I’ve actually long thought we should create a global free trade regime among democratic nations, along with sanctions for the rest. Just set some basic standard of human rights (it’d have to be low so we can meet it despite our mass incarceration) and tariff the rest.
