It’s disappointing to see American companies and celebrities also cave into the CCP’s pressure. For example consider LeBron James’s spineless parroting of CCP talking points against free speech (https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/467295-uighurs-chin...) and his stance criticizing those who spoke in defense of Hong Kong protesters (https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/14/us/lebron-james-nba-china-int...). All of this suggests that despite the woke bonafides of companies like Nike or Disney or sports organizations like the NBA or celebrities like LeBron or The Rock, they too ultimately care mainly about their self interests to the point that they will stand up and defend an illiberal authoritarian genocidal communist government (https://www.latimes.com/sports/lakers/story/2019-10-14/lebro...). Remember these are the same people and groups that will readily attack America’s values and founding principles. I think you are right about the difficulty of criticizing China but it might be a present reality rather than a future possibility.
