Doesn’t China heavily restrict competition in its domestic markets? Probably only North Korea is worse.

China is one of the most restrictive countries but expects full access to US market behaving like a US state or territory in its claims to US domestic markets lol.

Maybe that is the state of affairs China aspires to in the long term.

American companies are banned the same reason TikTok and Huawei is banned in the US. Nobody wants spy apparatuses operating within their shore.

Also are you going to simply ignore the fact that Tesla, Apple et. al. are operating just fine in China?

Look up when American companies got banned and when TikTok and Huawei got banned.

American companies have been banned decades earlier.

> Also are you going to simply ignore the fact that Tesla, Apple et. al. are operating just fine in China?

Also, are you and the other commenter ignoring the fact, thousands to millions of companies from China sell in the US?

Temu and Shein are still free to sell forced labor lead-infused goods. Lenovo still works. So do millions of tiny Chinese brands on Amazon.

You ignored that Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp are completely banned in China. Google Search, YouTube, Gmail, and Google Maps are completely unavailable in mainland China

TikTok wasn't banned (but had to restructure) and RedNote operates without any changes.

> Tesla, Apple et. al. are operating just fine in China

Yeah, and both companies manufacture heavily within China

For very good reasons

Most of the time, the domestic market in China is indirectly controlled through political and social influence, not through policy. It's not a fair market at all.
