Trump: China is bad because they are a totaltarian nation that controls businesses.
Also Trump: We're gonna ban a business because its from China.

There is no difference between a Chinese business and the Chinese government, as the government has installed personnel on every Chinese business's board of directors. There's a stark difference between merely regulating businesses versus having the government control them outright.
Also rant time:
I'm still unsure why anyone bothers defending China at this point, considering the government is a totalitarian fascist state engaging in genocide on its own people. It seems that not only do too many people not really care about this, they would actually defend China if it meant being on the opposing side of Trump.
We know that:
1. China is a one-party dictatorship.
2. Engages in genocide of 'undesirable' ethnicities.
3. Fully intends to take over claimed territories, such as most recently Hong Kong, as well as Taiwan and the South China Sea.
4. Uses systems such as the shèhuì xìnyòng tǐxì, which is social credit score designed to oppress its own people and keep them toeing the line.
China should be opposed at all times in all ways. It's a dystopian nightmare state that makes Nazi Germany look tame by comparison.
