At the same time, foreign companies are only allowed to operate in China through partnerships with Chinese companies. Why should we play fair if they don't?

By this logic, the US should start imprisoning people who aren't vocal enough about being anti-China, right? Why should the US play fair if China isn't?
China is a totalitarian dictatorship with complete surveillance over the domestic internet. Not really comparable.
yeah and we don't want them having a surveillance tool over a huge part of our domestic internet

That's not actually true. JV requirements are limited to a small (and constantly shrinking) number of economic sectors. Many, many large US companies own their own operations in China.
