      He’s pro-money and power. Initially, he indicated that he would let the ban pass. Then, TikTok execs went to Mar-a-lago and he has changed his tune. What changed? Probably they bribed him.

      Given tiktok isnt a Chinese company by any possible definition that doesn’t label all Asians as Chinese, no not really.

        That is the strangest way of saying “Yes they are Chinese” I’ve ever seen.

            You’re telling me that Bytedance Ltd, headquartered in Beijing, founded and partially owned by two Chinese people, is not a Chinese company?
