It makes complete sense, its tit for tat, China can can arbitrarily impose their rules on foreign companies and now US is doing the same.

Either Chinese businesses can lobby the Chinese Govt to make peace with US or the Chinese govt wont listen to them and have a more aggressive stand, only time will tell.

And if China doesn't respond in the way you want? Then you've just hurt Chinese businesses and their consumers. Great job.
