Evidence as to CCP control? Or evidence to another thing?

Because something that is very important to understand about China, or any other totalitarian regime, is that the people in charge don't let something like TikTok happen without having a fairly good grip on the people running it. That's just authoritarianism 101.

You've just described the reason for this TikTok ban.

Evidence that they are using the app to influence US users in a direction that would benefit the ccp and hurt the USA.

If you catch someone planting bombs under all your bridges, you don’t need evidence that they’ve detonated any to take them down.
