It is pre-emptive since the danger of Chinese apps is still hypothetical (and cyber attacks are way more relevant to national security than consumer apps anyway).

Consider it economic protectionism; not national security. China will not let western companies succeed and compete fairly. Thus, companies with access to both Chinese and USA markets (ie those from China) have a huge advantage.

So Facebook and google are unblocked now? Reddit? Quora? The internet situation isn’t getting better, if anything it is getting worse: China keeps improving their anti-VPN tech and the GFW is bound to include Hong Kong in the near future.
