> China set the precedent, they did ban Google etc in China. India banned TikTok too

And to clarify, those were bans. This is not. TikTok just needs to be sold to a non-foreign adversary country.

If TikTok were a Canadian, British, French, German, Korean, Japanese, or Taiwanese company, the US government wouldn't feel the need to intervene in the first place.

This bill makes that explicit. TikTok doesn't have to be sold to an American. It could be sold to any of the above, and it would comply with the proposed law.

To clarify, those were not bans. They were decisions by companies not to follow the laws that every other company in that country has to follow as well.
