Has China blocked or throttle US's barley, beef, coal, wine, timber, lobster and 'etc'?

The U.S has imposed trade sanctions (e.g. tariff) on China due to CCP's failing to execute the promises made prior to WTO entry.

VS

1st. China has a Market Access Negative List that restricts foreign (and local) investments that is the by-product of its communist system.
2nd. Australia applies reciprocal investment restrictions on CCP state-owned companies.
3rd. China has imposed trade (goods) sanctions on Australia. Australia's goods trade to China across the affected commodities, including barley, beef, and coal has dropped by 78 percent. Australia has replaced China with alternative markets e.g. China's mass dam building has caused drought in the downstream countries, hence creating alternative markets for Australia. LOL

I guess the bottom line is that the root of my statement is any free enterprise is incompatible with a country being "communist" and China clearly has some.

Not interested in debating the particulars beyond that, honestly, though I will admit/concede it does excecise a heavy hand on it's respective markets.
