I think OP means:

As others stated, if the US wants to start using China as a country to base its precedents on, that's even more concerning in my view.

Countries blocking companies from operating on national security grounds is hardly new in the US or anywhere really.

It might be the first US mobile app however I will grant you that.

I don't think anyone's arguing that it's not legitimate for a country to ban a company on national security grounds, but that this is stretching the definition of what constitutes a national security threat.

Which companies currently banned in the US would you say are comparable to TikTok in terms of the threat they could potentially pose?

I would say that mass surveillance by a foreign country is not a stretch.
