It sets a pretty chilling precedent that non-American competition can be forced to sell to Americans for (insert arbitrary reason here).

I am in favor of TikTok at least becoming restricted to adults only if not outright banned, just warning about the consequences of doing it this way.

It's owned by the CCP who is currently trying to undermine our election. It tried to do it in Taiwan where I currently live.

Not that this may not be true, but the USA undermines it's own foundation of democracy

While the US government is not perfect, it still is OUR own government. The CCP is a literal adversary.

So it's ok when Republicans undermine democracy... As long as they are not Chinese, got it

Some of the republicans are already compromised by Putin. Certainly not ok.

Wtf kind of response is that? “The Chinese government should get a say in our government because our government isn’t perfect.”

Nothing but Chinese shills or boys here. It’s wild anyone is stupid enough to say this

Hopefully the response is "the USA is basically 110% hypocritical here having actually intervened and destroyed the democracy of many countries before"

I've said many times.bfore I agree the Chinese government is bad and cannot be trusted, but let's pretend the USA government is trust worthy

All I see here are people who can't read critically and whose brains seem to only work on fallacies

It really doesn’t set a bad precedent forcing a foreign adversary to have less control over the US population. We should really force the sale of a lot of Chinese properties in the US as well. A foreign government should not have so much control over rental and housing prices in the US.

Why are you pro foreign adversary controlling the daily lives of Americans? It’s a very odd stance to take and openly say unless you’re not American obviously.
