Sure, but this set of observations is actually much more explainable by: people are uncomfortable with China either pushing or pulling data directly to/from Americans. This set of observations is not very explainable by "we didn't know China can 'do tech,' now we know, and now we don't like it."
Or, the state's agenda of fearmongering during our parents' generation over foreign enemies did not pass on to their children and grandchildren, and perhaps our domestic strategy of refusing to acknowledge the value of individuals' data and privacy to grow US companies has backfired since they now do not have any sense of ownership or an expectation of privacy to any company.
This was a blunder writ in hubris and xenophobia from the start.
