I dont really understand why Baidu, WeChat etc. are allowed to play in outside markets like US/India when China is closed off from outside markets. The Chinese case is special and might be better of with special treatment.

I don't really care what China does. If those companies have a better product, then it is awesome that they are able to compete in the US.

Why? Because it means better and cheaper products for us consumers.
