> Because it simply isn't from a western country

That's a false projection. For example, products from Korea and Japan are very popular in the US. App from those countries would have no problem. China is qualitatively different.

Nobody is forcing the sale, they also have the option to stop operating -- like Google chose to do re: China when they refused PRC demands.

You mean like how US companies are forced to vest technology with local partners to operate in China?

For example, non-Chinese companies cannot sell electric cars in China without handing over their trade secrets.

Is that fair?
