You are just rationalizing China’s purposeful one way trade barriers.
Explain to me how billions of dollars in subsidies for agriculture are not one way trade barriers.

If all China was doing was investing in it's own industries and sponsoring them, it would be very different from it's current policy of actually locking out competitors who dont have a local presence and such. There is a steep difference between positive economic assistance and negative legal barriers.

Without a local presence, how can the business be hold responsible if there's misdeed? US senators may even want to deny Huawei compensation for patent infringement in the US.

It definitely is. But the magnitude is much different. China makes it very hard to do business in a wide spectrum of industries. That's their right. But it's not free trade in any sense.

Being highly populated and powerful is not really an exception in history. The USA got (? gets) its sense of exceptionalism from their innovative form of government/constitution that provided more freedoms than any government in history. The roots are based in a sense morality.

Expressing criticism about American policy isn't the same as being anti-US. I would argue that it is people like you who are the real haters of what America stands for.
Hint: America is not about flag waiving, native pride that you betray in your statements ("can't stop visiting _our_ websties ")
China is the most populated country on earth and an emerging superpower. They have every right to consider themselves exceptional, just the way the US considers itself exceptional.
To posit another angle: most international nations are smaller markets than the US (individually) so it doesn't make sense to customize things for every nation, which would be a goddamn nightmare. But this is a country of over 1.3 Billion people. China would need to be an exception anyway, and AWS having a subsidiary in China doesn't illustrate the unfairness of China's practices as much as the reality of how important that market really is.
