Tik Tok users are now migrating to another Chinese app - Little Red Book or Siau Hong Shu. USA will again definitely find fault with it soon, but rest assured more Chinese apps will appear.
Imagine the USA with a massive propaganda machine and spending US$300 million a year for generating propaganda is afraid of a popular Chinese app called Tik Tok for National Security Reasons. The same argument about using Huawei's telecommunications equipment and phones. Have they provided any proof so far?

Trump threatens tariffs on China if Beijing does not approve a deal to sell regarding the short-video app.
Trump said “if we wanted to make a deal with TikTok, and it was a good deal, and China wouldn’t approve it, then I think ultimately they’d approve it because we’d put tariffs on China”.
“Maybe, I’m not saying I would, but you certainly could do that. And if we said, well, ‘you’re not going to approve it’, then that’s a certain hostility, and we’ll put tariffs of 25, 30,40, 50 per cent, even 100 per cent.”
Must had learnt from Moody aka Modi of how to "pai chew" I.e just daylight robbery of other properties.
When the Daft Ones already cooked the rice, oh potatoes just eat it.
Abang and Adek in their sick mentalities.
If Trump thinks imposing tariffs on China is going to sway the decision of China in allowing Tik Tok to be sold to a USA entity, he is delusional. If I may say so, Trump is openly delusional.
Trump is still trying to fool his base that tariffs will hurt China. Either he is pretending not to know, or he is indeed ignorant about how tariffs actually work. It is an added tax on USA consumers, nothing more. China does not have to foot the tariffs added to USA import of Chinese products but may lose a segment of the USA market. That is all.
If China had no other choice but to rely on the USA market, then tariffs are going to hurt China badly. China already has a big domestic market, has already cultivated an even bigger market inside BRICS and the Global South. This is a market that dwarfs the USA and the EU combined. So, what is the problem with tariffs imposed by the USA? At most China will be deprived of a market of a few hundred million consumers, but there is a bigger market growing outside the USA.
China is not selling highly expensive military toys to USA. China is selling everyday consumer goods to the USA, which is the same commodity needed by BRICS countries and the Global South. What price China sells to the USA is what China sells to BRICS and the Global South countries.
Trump can gloat about increasing tariffs to 1,000%, but I think China is not too worried. It is the USA public that should do the worrying. Chinese manufacturing will still make EVs for US$10,000 and sell it outside the USA. The same with making all other things the same way, at the same cost, and selling at the same price. Are the tariffs imposed by the USA going to make BRICS and Global South countries worried? Think about it!
