They passed a law that allows the executive to ban companies with little to no evidence, I doubt that the US government will forget about this power

And they shouldn't. China has been doing that for years and it has been very bad for the western world. This is basic game theory. How about China stop being an adversary and allow US companies to settle in their country without needing a chinese owner and having its IPs stolen?

AFAIK china requirements are mostly about censorship and using chinese datacenters

China has been doing many things I would like the US to not start doing... Let's say that the US could find better role models
