Propoganda, election interference, tracking of people in the US for unknown purposes.

But I think it's primarily just deserved reciprocity to how the CCP is behaving in general. The US and the west have bent over backward for like 30 years and all we got was just more totalitarianism, hacking, IP theft, etc. Why play?

Because the majority of the people using Wechat and Tiktok are not CCP?

Does banning CCP controlled businesses not push back on the CCP because there is collateral?
