Who cares? Does China allow Facebook, Twitter etc within its own borders? Why not?

Is there anything unreasonable about treating China the same way it treats others?

No, just the hypocrisy of "we're doing it out of privacy concerns"

Not at all.

Privacy concerns obviously become much more critical when an aggressive foreign power is involved and is likely to weaponise the data. Particularly a country like China that operates the most sophisticated control/surveillance systems in the world on its own citizens.
