I suspect that's already been done a few times - but the CCP did not want a public spectacle, and the US Congress did.

#4s '/ban iPhone/ban Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter/' seems more reasonable.

Aren't all those things already blocked/banned in China? (since 2009).
(I feel like a joke might be wooshing over my head here).

Yes.
(Yeah, I was taking a stab at a more-complex joke. A bit about the hypocrisy of the Chinese position, but mostly about how narrow and simplistic the Congress and western news media seem to be on this issue. Or perhaps America's social media giants have "incentivized" our politicians and press to keep them out of it?)

#8Owning an iPhone shows the owner has privilege to overpay for commodity hardware, manufactured in their backyard; no one will give it up.

6 hours of testimony that, at most, 2-3% of the country even glanced at is a spectacle in your eyes?
This looks like splitting, or you're deliberately failing to understand how lawmaking works and the importance of making informed decisions at the federal level, in the long term.
Congress constantly grills CEOs, the elite, and victims because it is understood that they reshape society, sometimes for the worse, not always on purpose.
Is a law needed? How do we tax it? Who is being harmed? What is the harm? Can a law be enforced?
The transparency is by default. Not a "spectacle".
