So the CCP can dish it out but can’t take it.

Until the CCP decides to allow a level playing field for US companies operating in China they can go pound sand as far as I’m concerned.

Not sure how this is "dishing it out and not taking it". They intend to "take it"; they will force Bytedance not to sell, and thereby lose its US business with no compensation.

Whether they want to sell or not is moot. As far as I’m concerned we should offer the following options to any business with ties to the CCP:

Divest completely, sell it to a US based company, or exit the company from US markets.

They are not our ally.
