"offer a counter to it". You seem to think in terms of controlling people, rather than people controlling what they consume with the choices they make. I do not choose to watch Fox News, because it is blatantly corrupt.

Like I said before, it is real simple, if this isn't about fearmongering, then they can point to facts and pass laws that will apply to all media companies equally. Fearmongering in order to pass a law to give a branch of the government near unfettered control is the path to authoritarianism. You sir, may have fallen into an echo chamber of fear if you are on the side of banning a company for no reason other than FUD.

Perhaps we just treat all threats to national security the same...

You are acting as if China is a good faith participant on the world stage. Everything they do (as a nation) should be treated as if it is a current or future threat. In my opinion if you do not feel that way then you haven't been paying attention to their activities.

Once they open up their own country then they can get unfettered access to other markets. How about that?

You haven't given a reason why China should just be trusted.
