So what? Who cares what China does internally. Globalization dogma says that countries that limit foreign investment are only hurting themselves. If they want to shoot themselves in the foot, that's their problem.
This economic mantra has been pushed by the United States for the past 70 years, mostly to get developing markets to open up to US companies. Maybe we should apply it domestically, and see what happens?

Ideology is not pure, it is just a tool to further one's position.
Whenever the US considers that communism is to its advantage, it will turn communist.
Unfortunately, it has the military might to impose its will.
They're asking why, if China doesn't allow US ownership of Chinese companies, should the US allow Chinese ownership of American companies, not some abstract question of fairness. Currently there are severe controls on US activity in the Chinese market, ownership restrictions among them.
