Administration officials noted that American auto manufacturers that sold vehicles to customers in China were essentially forced by Chinese officials to use Chinese software in their vehicles.

I do question the amount of lifting the word essentially is doing in the above snippet, but that does sound like grounds to limit the inverse for Chinese imports

Well, if the US spies on its own citizens can you imagine the shady shit they'd do on Chinese citizens?

I also wonder if restrictions on software are in response to the US restricting access to Huawei tech in allied nations. This shit is not new.

I also wouldn't put it past US officials to inflate something for their own purposes - what if the Chinese requirement is for Chinese language software and it got turned around into Chinese software to serve an agenda.
