Tiktok is not China, Tiktok is owned by a private company

All the arguments that you are using can be successful leveraged against any Inqtel funded private company (of which there are plenty), so I'd recommend you to speak in a measured way

In China, private companies large enough cannot operate without a fair amount of control and involvement of some layer of the CCP. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/25/china-business...

Absolutely not. China is an authoritarian state with no rule of law other than what the CCP says goes. There are no meaningful firewalls between corporate operations and the Chinese government.
