I merely refuted your claim of where the competitive advantage came from. It is clearly from the network effect of the first movers. China blocked Google and Facebook so they could not exploit their first mover advantage in China. If US wants to do the same to TikTok for the same reason I am totally fine with it. It is just kind of lame to attribute it to unrelated issues. Of course there is a reason for obfuscation here, at least from the government's point of view. If it becomes the norm in the world to block companies from exploiting their first mover advantage due to network effect across national boundaries, US companies would suffer more.
