> why would US let ByteDance reap billions of dollars in profit from US market when Google and Facebook are not allowed to participate in Chinese market and reap profits as well?

Google and facebook are allowed to participate in the chinese market. If they follow chinese rules. One of them being storing chinese data in china which google and facebook refused to do.

Why are microsoft, apple and other tech companies allowed to do busy in china? Because they follow chinese laws.

> Strip down like 50% from overall content because it is not in line with CCP's ideology?!

As opposed to stripping content to line up with israeli ideology, european ideology or anyone else's ideology?

Other than hypocrisy, do you have a point?

You can shill for CCP as much as you want but when speaking of European or Israeli ideology, yes there are censorship laws but what censorship laws? For Nazi content, why you may ask? Because Nazi regime was mass murdering regime and on the other hand, in China, mass murder Mao is glorified as the father of the nation. That's the difference. Give Chinese people free speech as there is in US and then we can speak about fair competition.
