You're assuming it's about economics, but it has almost nothing to do with that. Foreign companies like Ford and GM can and do sell in China.
The reason China restricts foreign internet companies specifically, is because the government lacks control over what information is shared on such apps. China is a dictatorship where free speech is considered dangerous.
And that’s my point really. US tech companies have all kowtowed to CCP for the past two decades trying to gain access to the second largest economy.
