Because copying China isn't a great way to devise policy. China bans many things that are good and should remain protected in the US.

I don't use Tiktok or have a strong opinion on it specifically, but I really disagree with the notion that we should reflexively ban things because China banned something similar first.

China isn't playing by the rules here so there should be some form of sanction. If it's not banning Tiktok, then it should be something else.

Sure but never copying China because "China bad" is also a bad policy. Sometimes, bullies only understand "tit for tat" language.
