I love how the narrative is "noooo le ebil republicans are killing tik Tok!" And not "why would tik Tok shut down instead of just selling to a US entity like all foreign businesses are forced to do in China?"
I'm sure feeding anti-american slopcontent to zoomers on a spyware app has nothing to do with CCP Intelligence agencies

Is it a "ban" or is it "forcing a hostile foreign intelligence agency to divest their information weapon to domestic operators"?

Having chinks spy on us is the lesser evil
Nobody hates the American people more than western elites. Chinks are barely human, are mostly indifferent and just keep to themselves acting in their own best interests.

It can be that simple. You can just say you don't care that foreign aggressors harvest our data we freely provide to them with the potential for nefarious purposes. Legit if you don't care and prefer the content, I don't see anything wrong with that from a personal perspective.
From a national perspective though, why would a government permit such a thing?

It's not.
The Chinese MO has never been to force foreign businesses to sell, they simply tell you what to do and if you dont they boot you and replace you with a domestic copy

oh well that's VERY different from what was said

Yes, forcing alphabet to sell their entire company to a Chinese company is very different from telling companies you dont want doing business in your country they can't do business in your country.
Also China have no illusions about being some kind of free market, meanwhile the US does, so only the US are acting like hypocrites.

them: china makes foreigners sell their company
you: no they don't actually do that they just tell them they have to sell or they aren't allowed in country
serious question. are you r-slurred?

"they have to sell or they aren't allowed in country"
I said the exact opposite, are you illiterate? They never ever ever force them to sell, they simply say "here is what we require of you if you want to do business in our country" and if they dont follow their guidelines they just say "alright well then we dont want you to do business in our country"
