Again, US social media enterprise refused to operate in China because they were unable to comply with existing local laws.

China did not pass a law and force a US company out retroactively. Tiktok complies with all existing US laws, including the law that requires US companies to provide data to the government when there is a warrant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act

a) which existing local laws were they unable to comply with, the answer dilutes your point. The one where they give up 50% ownership? The one where no warrants are required for data sharing and the concept of such a hurdle is a complete joke? some other local law?

b) doesn't explain why TikTok for the rest of the world is also not the same product run in China

Have you actually viewed Chinese TikTok? It's stupid cat videos and 'influencer' advertisements.
