TikTok to Sue U.S. over Ban

This would be a better argument if the US was doing the same thing China is doing.

China has censorship laws that you might not like, but you can certainly still choose to comply if you want to be in that market. Indeed, many US companies have chosen to do so and participate in that market while others feel the cost is too high and do not.

What could TikTok do to comply here and be allowed in the US? It wasn't banned for non-compliance in some tit-for-tat measure, it was banned for simply being from China.

That's not correct. To enter the Chinese market you need to do it with a Chinese company.

That’s not correct. Tesla did not partner with any Chinese company.

Tesla makes cars, not social media apps.
