Yet, the comment does say China lacks innovation.

Why do you think that China has "fear of 'inferior' outside competition"?

No the comment says China WILL lose its current momentum for innovation. It’s a prediction of the future
It’s pretty evident China fears outside competition when they block competitors from entering their market. They have no confidence in their home grown companies surviving contrary to hard evidence
You assume facts not in evidence and write as if your biases are evident as the truth.
China has a history of blocking outside influence in order to control the populace, so fear of competition with apps may not be the motivation.

Chinese protectionism isn't new and it isn't limited to apps. There's been more than enough written on the subject.
This article is about an app being blocked in China through protectionism.

Is there any reason why my arguments should be limited to 1 article even though it's still on the same subject?
1. It didn't say China lacks innovation.
2. It is not critical of China as a whole. It is critical of the ones making stupid, selfish laws in China out of fear, which imo will hurt growing innovation in China.
3. If there's no shortage of Chinese innovation, why is there so much fear of 'inferior' outside competition?
