The pro-TikTok lobby within the conservative movement (I debated one of them) has kept insisting that the Chinese corporation exists separately from the regime and has nothing to do with it.
That ambiguity collapsed the moment the House bill passed.
Beijing is in full “Wolf Warrior” mode now. It described Congress as “bandits”, accused America of opposing “free speech”, cited the ACLU (ironically created by a Communist ally to support Communism), accused America of “bullying” and warned that this “will eventually backfire on the US itself”.
As many have pointed out, China has banned every American social media app. American companies routinely have to take on Chinese partners and are eventually squeezed out. If not, their IP is stolen and used to crank out copycat products or software.
The PRC doesn’t have a single leg to stand on.
But that’s not the point. What is the point is that Beijing is so furious because it values TikTok as an agent of influence inside America.
This isn’t about money. While TikTok is massively popular, its revenue is a drop in China’s economy. A sale would provide an immediate cash flow that China would profit from. Instead, the PRC is warning that it will block any sale leading to an actual suspension of TikTok in America.
China would rather lose TikTok’s revenues than lose control over Americans.
Why does Beijing care so much about one company’s presence in one market? Because it wants to use TikTok to manipulate and spy on Americans.
Speaking of the ACLU, that brings back painful memories, of all the requests for donations they sent to my Mom, who funded them all her life, to the detriment of her own finances, believing she was doing good works.
The ACLU … another Stab-in-the-Back, anti-American, anti-US citizen traitorous organization.
I know some leftist democrat liberal progressives. whose pedigree go back to the 1930’s.
In almost 100 years they have not learned a thing.
Truth means nothing to them.
Tik-Tok and Facebook are the opposite sides of the same coin.
Ban both of them.
Do we all realize that Tik Tok is being used to aid and abet the invasion of America. There are step by step instructions for hiring smugglers and detailed instructions to get to that hole they visited. Many were struck by just how orderly and routine it all is. If this isn’t betrayal of America, I don’t know what is.
What, did the CCP get “red” over the TikTok ban? How lovely…
Isn’t the ACLU(Anarcists Criminals Lunatic Underground)Ticktok(Boom)Ban as their always willing to aid the enemies of American Soventry and Security
