One chamber in the government of the country that takes pride in free enterprise -- the USA -- has passed a bill forcing somebody in another country to sell a business or stop doing business in the USA.
Yes, there's a law in China saying companies based there have to give data to the government. The only difference between that law and the one in the USA is that the Chinese government doesn't need a warrant.
Oh, look: somebody who used to be in the cabinet is thinking of buying that company. It must be nice to be able to have your political buddies force a competitor to put their business on the market.
Meanwhile, no news as to whether China will force Coca-Cola to sell off its Chinese operations in retaliation.
