This is nonsense, and basically textbook whataboutism. Companies in the US are not an extension of the state in anyway near the way Chinese firms are, even if some collude. The US allows dual citizenship.
'Even if some collude' -> those are the largest companies in the world, see 'Snowden'.
Yes, the US allows for dual citizenship. And will then proceed to levy those with US citizenship the world over for taxes, no matter where they actually reside, a practice few other countries follow.
You guys really need to substitute "state" with "elites", then it's pretty much the same story globally. You have to learn to unlearn the trick that they feed you (OH the state is evil but private is good).
The US generally doesn't use espionage to steal trade secrets, it might happen now and again, but it's not a strategic policy.
The US is also fairly open. TikTok is the #1 app in the US and it's literally Chinese owned!
The US is selective about where it gets protectionist / nationalist. Even the populist chest-thumping is not a reflection of what's actually going. That's just for Twitter politics.
For whatever reasons, China is very authoritarian/controlling and that has to be folded into the equation.
Aside from complicated moral issues with Taiwan/Tibet/Uyghurs - really all of that protectionist stuff is 'their choice'.
It's up to them how they want to play the game.
We have to just accept that reality and collectively respond to it rationally.
Dropping Huawei is a reasonable choice as is dropping any company known to be involved in shenanigans. Some data laws for where traffic can travel and under what terms would be reasonable as well (I'm looking at you Zoom!).
We can get along but we need good boundaries.
In the US, the state is an extension of the corporation.
Does the US Government control GitHub? Imgur? Do they have monitors implanted at the organizations to control them?
Do you know why there was so much anti-Trump content on services like Imgur, Reddit or Twitter, during those administration years? It's precisely because the US Government does not control such services, and fortunately it's an area of real freedom that the US still largely excels at.
In the US I can set up a file/media hosting service tomorrow morning, with zero oversight by the US Government. I can make it a politically focused service for the left or right as I see fit. I can blast Biden 24/7 via the service, hosting media that is anti his administration, or focus that against Republicans instead.
Or I can set up an encrypted data service, where you can post encrypted files, text notes, whatever. I can do that any time I see fit, the US Government has nothing to do with it. Try that in China and see what happens to you.
Those are intentionally simple examples to make a point. You can do none of that in China, starting from step one of just setting up an open file hosting service that can take in almost any content you want it to (outside of things like CP).
The US Government does not control the US Internet other than with some quite basic regulations. In China, the CCP now directly controls all relevant corporations, all Internet services, anything that matters whatsoever.
Stop focusing on the government and look at how the whole system works. Post something critical of a government official and it gets censored. It happens on Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, Hacker News, Nextdoor, YouTube, etc... We aren't talking Trump or antivaxxers either.
Of course, right now, in the 21st century, the government of China is using its various powers to, among other things, send its citizens who members of a particular minority ethnic group to concentration camps. Criticize the US all you want, but the US government are not rounding people up, torturing them, and then forcing them to work in jobs the government picked out for them. The US does plenty of awful things, sometimes as part of its official policies, but it is still a far cry for the sort of things that the CCP is doing.
Ever hear of the Indian reservation system? The US government rounded people up, took their land, and forced them into concentration camps. If they left the reservation, they were hunted by the US cavalry.
It is so rich to conquer a people and then show remorse while continuing to occupy the land.

How would you compare that part of American history to the Nazis? Or how about comparing that to the Japanese in WW2? Is the US really any better?
Given how the US is allies with Saudi Arabia, has conducted wars killing over a million people the last 30 years, do you actually think the US changed its ways?
There is no morality. There is mostly propaganda on both sides.
I am glad to be a US citizen, but for us to not acknowledge bad mistakes that we have made in the past (and including the recent past) is wrong, and diminishes our chances to do better morally and to improve our future chances of continued prosperity.
