In what other trade context would it be ok for one partner to block all access to their own market (Facebook, Twitter etc) whilst still enjoying full access to everybody else's? How is this remotely acceptable?

This is incorrect, Neither are banned in Taiwan, which the US recognizes as part of China.

The original comment claims that US social networks are banned in China, which they are not.

No one is claiming that America has "banned abortion" despite it's unavailable for 1/3 of American women, i.e. those living in the 11 states that have banned it[0].

Taiwan is not part of China, period. Nation states have a policy of "strategic ambiguity" as a matter of diplomatic convenience but the US is not considering supplying weaponry to Taiwan because it is part of China.
