It’s obviously not okay for China to ban Google. That’s why China gets criticized for it constantly, by both the west and its own citizens.

If US wants to retaliate China by becoming more China, well, surely China isn’t the only one getting hurt.

Yes. It's the same situation as 'retaliating' to tariffs with tariffs of your own.

It's like butting your head against the wall to teach the other fellow not to but his own head against the wall.
