Ironically we’d see far fewer overdoses and a lot less drug-related violence worldwide if America would legalize the drugs people are going to take in America regardless of drug laws. You didn’t pick a great example.

I think it's great. For both, problem is extremes of apathy to actual consideration of the effects in society and lack of rational regulations.
The important part should be understanding the whys and building access to a robust nonpunitive way out for those who want it.
But the profits of addiction are too important either way.
Although it is fun that it's totally fine for an American company to take the reins and continue on.
This could have been done with emphasis on the way China engineers TikTok/Douyin in each country and the effects on the end users - but that wouldn't make anyone with money or power very happy. The thing it does is fine - merely where the data goes and who pulls the levers is the concern.
The "ban" will change nothing in our society, thank God.
