China Disrupts WhatsApp Service in Online Clampdown (nytimes.com)

It's unlikely that the current administration would ever confront China about its Internet clampdown on human rights grounds, but I don't understand why this isn't treated as a trade issue (or perhaps it is and I'm ignorant of it). There's no reason we should allow WeChat, Baidu, and other Chinese Internet companies to operate freely in the United States when American competitors are almost entirely locked out of the Chinese market.
