You can also changed the Chinese to American, China to US, Xiaomi/Huawei to Apple/Android and it's all the same context.

Google & FB were blocked because they didn't want to abide to the rules on China.

Hey, US government also support its companies. They were literally forcing non-US company to sell their company to US company.

I'm sure the civilized world could also answer about how they monitor everyone, how they helped middle east, and how they pressured every country to submit to their demands.

The problem is who(s) is the one sending message. Putin or someone who doesn't like Putin sitting on his office.

It's only accusation and yet until now they didn't have any proof beside being jealous of what China and Chinese companies achieved while playing dirty by pressuring them.

American social media was banned because they didn't want to follow the law and rules in China. While TikTok followed every regulation to the local law and rules in the US.

Now the US are forcing to sell or blocked every single non-american company whom already complied to all their law and rules, truly the first country in history doing this.

There are literally thousands of apps that do that, but they were targeting TikTok?

This is a political and economical move, if this is how US and Trump wanted it to be, by forcing another company to sell into another local company then it would be a forced acquisition and this would make other companies to reconsidered to invest or build their company in the US.

By this rule, other country in this case China could also enforced banning on services and products into their market with the reason of "Security, Influence and State Control"

He means that it is an illegal move to banned TikTok, but it could be done with the presidential executive power abuse.

Because the reason they focused on Tiktok is that the giant tech in america are unable to beat Tiktok popularity.

I could only see it like that, I'm sure that the reason of this banning if you can see is that Trump and US administration is just like a thug that were hired by some company to hinder/destroy the rising company.
