But China banning foreign apps also plays into their stranglehold on their domestic media and economy, so it's not a purely adversarial move against the US.
Or to put it another way, should the US also ban/censor Chinese art and cinema within it's borders?
If it's going to help US in any way, why not? TikTok is eating the lunch of US social media apps so fair to play the protectionism game.
