Because it will start a tit-for-tat type of cycle. That is why.

If it’s not bad why calling out China first doing it?

If it’s bad why doing it?

When you realize the game is completely rigged, you have to stop playing it.

We would like for western companies to be able to operate in China the way we let Chinese companies operate in our nations, but since China don't want to reciprocate and want to play an unfair game, the only real option is to level the playing field - if China wants to make the rules, lets take those rules and apply them domestically to. We should:

* Require Chinese companies to have a domestic partner.

* Selectively enforce (or rather ignore) IP when infringing on Chinese IP.

* Force IP transfer as a condition to access our markets.

* Require Chinese visitors to tell the police where they're living.

* Many more policies which are unfavourable to the Chinese.

China, chief hypocrite, will of course complain about anything which discriminates against China abroad, while doing exactly that thing at home.
