Crazy that congress is fighting over ownership of TikTok, but letting a critical piece of US manufacturing be foreign owned with hardly a word.
I think the critical difference is that Japan is an ally and China is not.
I am pretty sure that at one point China was an ally and Japan an enemy. I think.

There are not many industries like that anymore - steel still is, oil, and some industrial chemicals. But even Pharma has slightly different cost structures.

In the 80s and 90s there was a lot of hostility to Japan, because they looked like they might surpass us economically. They were even the villain of some Tom Clancy books. Now, the fear/hate is aimed at China, same reason.
Let's also not forget the reciprocity of the hostilities.
