I said if it's a matter of national security.

> TikTok is not a national security problem, no more than Whatsapp or Telegram or Skype is a national security problem.

Yeah, you don't actually know that. What we don't know is the most consequential for us. China is ambitious and is clearly engaged in a long game against the US.

We should watch our backs, no apologies necessary.

From an outsider view, all I see in this thread is the US constantly attacking china and accusing it of what they are doing to them.

#2 always wants to be #1, #1 wants to stay #1. This has played out many, many times throughout history. Pick your loyalty.

So you are giving uo on the whole concept of a justice system, evidence of wrongdoing and public hearing?

Might as well start putting random chinese people in jail just to hit back at CCP, "no apollogies neccesary"

My original post referred to national security coming first — and evaluating any actions taken via court, if it's questionable.
