US Attorney General William Barr has accused Hollywood and US tech firms of "collaborating" with the Chinese government to do business there.
Companies like Disney routinely agreed to censor films while Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Apple were "all too willing" to work with Beijing, he said.
Such actions risked undermining the liberal world order, Mr Barr added.
His intervention is the latest criticism of China by White House and other US officials.
Tensions between the US and China have been rising over a host of issues. The US this week removed Hong Kong's preferential trade status, after China brought in a controversial new security law for the territory.
Does working with China mean freedoms are undermined elsewhere?

there's a quote from a movie: "you got to obey the ruleZ; ..."
anyways, it's a "good thing(tm)" if one can "liberate" money from the chinese marketby following their rules BUT what happens if, after all the investment you made there the new rules sayz you gotta sacrifice one amerikan baby on this communist alter to continue doing business?
i mean that's extreme but whatabout if one movie studio has a movie for usa only and it's nor anti china per se but a new rules sayz you can only do business if you don't do that amerikan movie?
etc. etc. the dangers of a non elected government with supreme powers?
how far down are you willing to kowtow for the almighty yuan, renminbi, whatever it's called?
amerikan movie studios WILL be reeducated ... just not via a regular brainwashing camp.
