You're comparing food and water to how a company does business in another country. These two things couldn't be more different. Does the US government also manage food and water in China?
> The better question is whether Google is acting as a monopoly
That's an entirely different question. The letter seemed to target the china problem directly, which is more about censorship than monopoly. If anything, monopoly is just being used as an excuse here.

> you haven't made a sufficient case that "favorites" are being played
