The chinese government doesn’t have any say in tiktok. Tiktok isn’t even available in china. This is an attemt to please repuplican politicians all the way.

Correction: The PRC owns 1% and has one person in the board of directors of bytedance. Still: the fearmongering against the chinese government is just a smokescreen to draw attention away from the NSA.

Whatever. Let’s not pretend that authoritarian China doesn’t have its tentacles in the country’s business operations to steer everything to its will.

I’m seriously not a fan of China. But thinking that neoliberal western “democracies” are way less authoritarian is just a delusion.
