China doesn’t ban American companies for that reason, they ban them because political dissidents could use them to communicate privately (gmail) or publicly (YouTube Facebook twitter....). Not all American companies are banned, either.

India won’t block Facebook. Or YouTube or even twitter. They would have huge riots on their hands if they did.
