No, the US doesn't do the same. You're comparing two very different things. Property is/can be owned, people are not and should not be. China & the US do not own their people or their brains, even if they'd like to.
Both countries technically allow people to move to and work in them, from other nations. It's practically impossible to become a citizen of China as a foreigner. The US grants a million green cards per year.
China almost entirely disallows outbound technology/IP/property/asset tranfers. That's the overwhelming point of contention.

If it's knowledge that's important, does it matter whether it's transferred through asset purchase or by hiring foreign talent?
Also, this is musical and educational colleges they are buying, how did tech/IP transfer sneaked into the discussion?

No, because we don't have such draconian rules about domestic competition as China does.
In the end, the more countries and firms compete on expert knowledge, the better it is for knowledge workers.
