India still depends on Chinese imports and technology, regardless of how it feels about the country. The TikTok thing was an easy political stunt.

If banning Tik Tok is an easy political stunt then why has this spawned a couple several thousand comment posts in the last 48 hours alone?

Because if there are two subjects HN cannot resist pontificating on at length, it's social media/the modern web and Sinopolitics. Add a dash of red team/blue team sniping and it's the perfect storm.

Easy in India. I’m sure they also debated it at length there. But they went through with it and it largely did nothing.
