President Biden signed a bill that states if TikTok doesn't cut ties with its China-based parent company ByteDance over the next nine months to a year, it will be banned in the U.S.
What do you mean when you say that the “external force wants to see us fall”?
It would be generally unwise to assume that powerful Chinese people agree on that particular issue. Everyone has their own priorities. People who are in power seeking more power and money have their own ways of pursuing it, and some of those approaches work better if the country on the other side of the Pacific is relatively stable.
Certainly we agree that the spy agencies will continue to spy on whoever they can. I don’t think banning TikTok will be a major roadblock for them, given the lack of consequences for companies that fail to secure their data.
