China would rather see TikTok U.S. close than a forced sale

I'm pretty sure we weren't seeing Chinese culture via TikTok. Indian Tiktokers made lot of money via TikTok.

But does this work to nudge China?

Is Indian lost revenue big enough for China to change their style just because TikTok is banned?

The point isn't to get China to change, but for a country to have control over its own people instead of a different country having that control.

Is that's the case then I can understand. The way I hear it in Indian Media is that our supreme leader "taught China a lesson by banning apps"
