Tit for tat is a highly effective strategy in game theory.

Does the US need some sort of genocide program to counter the Uighur thing? Just because China is doing something stupid doesn't mean the US needs to copy them.

Letting foreign companies operate locally is a boon for the locals. The reason China is threatening the US with superior products is because they let the US invest in China for so many years. One of the few advantages the US has over the Chinese economy is the CCP keeps denying their citizens access to effective tools and ideas from well run external corporations.

There is a strong argument to ban Tiktok because it represents a military/social threat. But that isn't tit-for-tat, if the US is persuaded by that logic it is meaningless what the Chinese regulators are doing on their turf.

Another one? I'd hope the genocide against Native Americans should be sufficient for quite some time. Or is that too long ago now?

Nononono that didn't happen and we will ban teaching about it in schools because that makes some americans uncomfortable and we can't have that.

Is it any wonder Americans allow this kind of tyranny when we refuse to teach our past in school? American exceptionalism is a lack of education.

Last I read, compassionate tit for tat is the best. Tit for tat, but forgive and offer compassion occasionally to stop mutually destructive loops.

Tit for two tats outperforms tit for tat.
