I think we're all going to get used to making this argument about tarrifs, so we might as well start now:
The US government can't ban foreign companies from competing with companies in the US. It can only ban Americans from buying from foreign companies. Framed like that, do you still want China's ban on Chinese citizen's use of global information adopted to limit your own access to it?
Selling a reduction in your own rights as the use of force on a foreign entity has to be one of the clearest instances of closing on "please take my freedoms away" of all time.
